“It’s the most basic, and the simplest, thing we can say about ourselves and about God: we exist through relationships of knowing and loving and giving because that’s how God exists.”

“And, indeed, in the world little dictators rule with an iron hand: Herod, Philip, Statius Quartus, the Caesar. With boundless arrogance they walk over the people of God. With one stroke of the pen they cause thousands to disappear or die or both; masters of torture do their dirty work for them in dark and dismal cellars while above, in the beautiful halls, they strut to festive music and exchange civilized pleasantries. But the church knows that even as this happens “forever is King our Lord Jesus Christ.” This was true then as it is true now. Nothing is more disturbing for the oppressor than this. Nothing is more comforting for the faithful.”

“Symbols and myths and poetry are like the well-defined beam of a flashlight that illuminates something that we didn’t realize existed, or only hoped was there, in the dark room of what we sometimes call “the human condition.” The deeper power of a symbol is not determined by the size or shape of its own beam, but by the truth that it makes clear and alive.”

“when, in our contemporary idiom, “talking” about compassion becomes more important than “walking” in compassion – then words show their ever-lurking danger.”

“Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.”
