We began by imagining that we are giving to the; we end by realizing that they have enriched us.

I encourage Christians regularly to visit Christ present in the Blessed Sacrament, for we are all called to abide in the presence of God.

A good leader sees everything, overlooks a great deal, and corrects a little.

Nobody is so poor he has nothing to give, and nobody is so rich he has nothing to receive.

Sacred scripture wishes simply to declare that the world was created by God, and in order to teach this truth it expressed itself in terms of the cosmology in use at the time of the writer. Any other teaching about the origin and makeup of the universe is so alien to the intentions of the Bible, which does not wish to teach how heaven was made but how one goes to heaven.

And Christ, through His own salvific suffering, is very much present in every human suffering, and can act from within that suffering by the powers of His Spirit of truth, His consoling spirit.

God made us for joy. God is joy, & the joy of living reflects the original joy that God felt in creating us.
