Human self-understanding changes with time, and so also human consciousness deepens.

All men and women of good will are bound by the task of pursuing peace.

God is not afraid of new things.

Women have much to tell us. Women are capable of seeing things in a different angle. Women can pose questions that we men cannot understand.

I love it when people can actually engage with the materials of the sacrament in advance.

If God, in the Christmas mystery, reveals himself not as One who remains on high and dominates the universe, but as the One who bends down, descends to the little and poor earth, it means that, to be like him, we should not put ourselves above others, but indeed lower ourselves, place ourselves at the service of others, become small with the small and poor with the poor. It is regrettable to see a Christian who does not want to lower himself, who does not want to serve. A Christian who struts about is ugly: this is not Christian, it is pagan.

Peace is handcrafted. It is made every day. Also friendship among people, mutual knowledge, esteem, is handcrafted. It's made every day. Respect the other, say that which one thinks, but with respect, but walk together.
