The topic of compassion is not at all religious business; it is important to know it is human business, it is a question of human survival.

The Earth is protesting for the wrong that we are doing to her, because of the irresponsible use and abuse of the goods that God has placed on her. We have grown up thinking that we were her owners and dominators, authorised to loot her. The violence that exists in the human heart, wounded by sin, is also manifest in the symptoms of illness that we see in the Earth, the water, the air and in living things.

Wealth is a great sin in the eyes of God. Poverty is a great sin in the eyes of man.

You can love a person dear to you with a human love, but an enemy can only be loved with divine love.

There is something in the human spirit that will survive and prevail, there is a tiny and brilliant light burning in the heart of man that will not go out no matter how dark the world becomes.

Very often, all the activity of the human mind is directed not in revealing the truth, but in hiding the truth.
