God weeps with us so that we may one day laugh with him.

Christian hope does not promise successful days to the rich and the strong, but resurrection and life to those who must exist in the shadows of death. Success is no name of God. Righteousness is.

The truth of human freedom lies in the love that breaks down barriers.

Hope is lived when it comes alive, when we go outside of ourselves and, in joy and pain take part in the lives of others.

Capitalism, racism and inhuman technocracy quietly develop in their own way. The causes of misery are no longer to be found in the inner attitudes of men, but have long been institutionalized.

Personal, inner change without a change in circumstances and structures is an idealist illusion, as though man were only a soul and not a body as well.

Passion is loving something enough to suffer for it.

Totally without hope, one cannot live. To live without hope is to cease to live.

Jesus' healings are not supernatural miracles in a natural world. They are the only truly 'natural' things in a world that is unnatural, demonized and wounded.

That is why faith, wherever it develops into hope, causes not rest but unrest, not patience but impatience.... Those who hope in Christ can no longer put up with reality as it is.

In Christian terms, evangelization and humanization are not alternatives. Nor are the vertical dimension of faith and the horizontal dimension of love for ones neighbor and political change.

when you feel like hope is gone, look inside you and be strong and you'll finally see the truth- that hero lies in you.

Root yourself in this earthand it will root itself in you.

Whatever happens to us is beneficial.

It's so much easier to debate people when you can pretend that they hold moronic position that they don't actually believe.

While expressing your desires, you would need to exercise control in order to prevent them from doing harm to you or to others.

I was raised by a mother who was a Sunday school teacher and a father who worked hard. Together they taught me to give back.

The results of the divorce between truth and human beings can be most graphically observed in politics.

Why is it that for everything you gain in life, something is always lost?
