Avoid the poison in your life that brings you turmoil.

We don’t know what to do with our own pain, so what to do with the pain of others? We don’t know what to do with our own weakness except hide it or pretend it doesn’t exist. So how can we welcome fully the weakness of another if we haven’t welcomed our own weakness?

Those we most often exclude from the normal life of society, people with disabilities, have profound lessons to teach us

To invite others to live with us is a sign that we aren't afraid, that we have a treasure of truth and of peace to share.

People cannot accept their own evil if they do not at the same time feel loved, respected and trusted.

Jesus is the starving, the parched, the prisoner, the stranger, the naked, the sick, the dying. Jesus is the oppressed, the poor. To live with Jesus is to live with the poor. To live with the poor is to live with Jesus.

When people love each other, they are content with very little. When we have light and joy in our hearts, we don't need material wealth. The most loving communities are often the poorest.
