We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has gone through. I do not think that wide circles of the American society or wide circles of the Christian community realize this fully. We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-Church, of the Gospel versus the anti-Gospel.

Attention is riveted on what is tangible, useful, instantly available; the stimulus for deeper thought and reflection may be lacking. Yet human beings have a vital need for time and inner quiet to ponder and examine life and its mysteries... Understanding and wisdom are the fruit of a contemplative eye upon the world, and do not come from a mere accumulation of facts, no matter how interesting.

I have a sweet tooth for song and music. This is my Polish sin.

The most generous choices, especially the persevering, are the fruit of profound and prolonged union with God in prayerful silence.

Every effort to make society sensitive to the importance of the family, is a great service to humanity.

I hope to have communion with the people, that is the most important thing.

Offer Christ your heart in meditation and personal prayer which is the foundation of the spiritual life.
