“The love of Christ embraces all without exception.
Fire of love, crazy over what You have made. Oh, divine Madman. (Prayer of Catherine Siena)
Simply do the next thing in love.
I have no sense of myself apart from you.
Quia amasti me, fecisti me amabilem. (In loving me, you made me lovable.)”

“To affirm a person is to see the good in them that they cannot see in themselves and to repeat it in spite of appearances to the contrary. Please, this is not some Pollyanna optimism that is blind to the reality of evil, but rather like a fine radar system that is tuned in to the true, the good, and the beautiful.”

“I've decided that if I had my life to live over again, I would not only climb more mountains, swim more rivers, and watch more sunsets; I wouldn't only jettison my hot water bottle, raincoat, umbrella, parachute, and raft; I would not only go barefoot earlier in the spring and stay out later in the fall; but I would devote not one more minute to monitoring my spiritual growth. No, not one.”
