Compassion and justice are companions, not choices.

Every nation makes decisions based on self-interest and defends them on the basis of morality.

We are not loved because we are valued; we are valued because we are loved.

What is faith? Faith is being grasped by the power of love.

Of God's love we can say two things: it is poured out universally for everyone from the Pope to the loneliest wino on the planet; and secondly, God's love doesn't seek value, it creates value. It is not because we have value that we are loved, but because we are loved that we have value. Our value is a gift, not an achievement.

The woman most in need of liberation is the woman in every man and the man in every woman.

If your heart is full of fear, you won't seek truth; you'll seek security. If a heart is full of love, it will have a limbering effect on the mind.
