Man always travels along precipices... His truest obligation is to keep his balance.

The Eucharist is the heart of the Church. Where Eucharistic life flourishes, there the life of the church will blossom.

There is no dignity when the human dimension is eliminated from the person. In short, the problem with pornography is not that it shows too much of the person, but that it shows far too little.

[St. Francis] looked upon creation with the eyes of one who could recognize in it the marvelous work of the hand of God.

We too are called to a similar attitude.

The Church must persist in the teaching transmitted to her by Christ.
