Prayer is not asking. Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God, at His disposition, and listening to His voice in the depth of our hearts.

Man can't do without God. Just like you're thirsty, you have to drink water. You just can't go without God.

He who has no faith in himself can never have faith in God.

I don't think I've ever been an agnostic. I've always thought there's a superior power, that this is not the real world and that there's a world to come.

Since I believe that nobody can find God alone, I have to work with people. I have to take them with me. Alone I can't come to Him.

Work is fundamental to the dignity of the person. Work, to use an image, 'anoints' with dignity, fills us with dignity, makes us similar to God who has worked and still works, who always acts.
