Part of my approach to my illness has been to say I want to choose life, I want to keep going, I want to live fully until I die.

God has given me the grace to see some of the seeds that I have sown bear good fruit, and I am so grateful.

I find that when I am involved in the business of life, when I'm working with people, particularly with children, I feel better. A kind of strength and energy comes with that.

I know that God is using me in ways beyond my comprehension.

Remember who you are and whose you are.

God is present in everything. In the universe in creation, in me and all that happens to me, in my brothers and sisters, in the church - everywhere.
