The Church does not exist to condemn people but to bring about an encounter with the visceral love of God's mercy.

How beautiful is the gaze with which Jesus regards us-how full of tenderness! Let us never lose trust in the patience and mercy of God.

Whenever we encounter another person in love, we learn something new about God.

To be wise use three languages: think well, feel well and do well. And to be wise allow yourselves to be surprised by the love of God. That will guarantee a good life.

I believe in God - not in a Catholic God; there is no Catholic God. There is God, and I believe in Jesus Christ, his incarnation. Jesus is my teacher and my pastor, but God, the Father, Abba, is the light and the Creator. This is my Being.

We must meet hate with love. Remember, if I am stopped, this movement will not stop, because God is with the movement. Go home with this glowing faith and this radiant assurance.
