I think of the Catholic worker movement and Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin and others.

If you have two coats you have stolen one. We have no right to have more than we need when someone else has less than they need.

The more I travel, the more I see how important it is to each population to see that their history of the good and the bad is remembered by others.

God can use anything, and anyone - even a king or a president, even a tax collector or a businessman, a priest or a prostitute, a Republican or a Democrat.

There's an understanding of common prayer that I think we're seeing grow, more and more. When I travel, I hear from people who are deeply touched that our common prayer takes time to remember some of the terrible tragedies that have happened around the world.

Look through the prayer books. You'll see lots of dates. You'll see names of Native Americans remembered. This was an open-sourcing project among so many people.

Perhaps there is no more dangerous place for a Christian to be than in safety and comfort, detached from the suffering of others.
