Discipline in the spiritual life is the concentrated effort to create the space and time where God can become our master and where we can respond freely to God's guidance.

Pay attention to the people God puts in your path if you want to discern what God is up to in your life.

What makes us human is not our mind but our heart, not our ability to think but our ability to love.

For Jesus, there are no countries to be conquered, no ideologies to be imposed, no people to be dominated. There are only children, women and men to be loved.

You don't think your way into a new kind of living. You live your way into a new kind of thinking.

Dare to love and to be a real friend. The love you give and receive is a reality that will lead you closer and closer to God as well as those whom God has given you to love.

My whole life I have been complaining that my work was constantly interrupted, until I discovered that my interruptions were my work.

In a world so torn apart by rivalry, anger, and hatred, we have the privileged vocation to be living signs of a love that can bridge all divisions and heal all wounds.

The main question is not, how can we hide our wounds...but how can we put our woundedness in service to others.

O Lord, make this Lenten season different from the other ones. Let me find you again. Amen.

Those who keep speaking about the sun while walking under a cloudy sky are messengers of hope, the true saints of our day.

We must carefully examine our relationship with Jesus Christ before we make any attempts to introduce him to strangers. Matthew 7:21-23

Levi was smiling. He kicked her chair again.

Hollywood today is all about being consistent. All thinking in mainstream film business takes place in one box.

I used to look like a deer in headlights on the red carpet. You step out of the car and it's bedlam. Everyone's got crazy eyes.

Mistakes in themselves are unavoidable.

Just think, right now as you read this, some guy somewhere is gettin' ready to hang himself.

The eleventh commandment: Thou shalt be tolerant of all paths that lead to God.

I can't for the life of me see that by being permissive you actually assist anyone.

I guess I think of a musical as something in which the music is sort of like the engine of the piece - whether it is in the theatre or in film.

Thank goodness there are women in our lives -- that's all I can say. We get saved by the women in our lives.
