'Going home' is a journey to the heart of who we are, a place where we can be ourselves and welcome the reality of our beauty and our pain. From this acceptance of ourselves, we can accept others as they are and we can see our common humanity.

We work for peace every time we exercise authority with wisdom and authentic love.

[Happiness] comes when we choose to be who we are, to be ourselves, at this present moment in our lives.

When children are loved, they live off trust; their bides and hearts open up to those who respect and love them, who understand and listen to them.

True peace can rarely be imposed from the outside; it must be born within and between communities through meetings and dialogue and then carried outward.

If we are to grow in love, the prisons of our egoism must be unlocked. This implies suffering, constant effort and repeated choices.

At the heart of the celebration, there are the poor. If [they] are excluded, it is not longer a celebration. [...] A celebration must always be a festival of the poor.
