Until we learn to love others as ourselves, it's difficult to blame broken people who desperately try to affirm themselves when no one else will.

We Catholics must admit that there is a constant temptation among us to avoid the lectionary and the Word of God for private and pious devotions that usually have little power to actually change us or call our ego assumptions into question.

Faith is not for overcoming obstacles; it is for experiencing them—all the way through!

Men must learn how to grieve, or they are inevitably angry or controlling, and they don't even know why.

The ego knows itself by comparison.

People who know how to creatively break the rules also know why the rules were there in the first place.

Life is not a matter of creating a special name for ourselves, but of uncovering the name we have always had.
