The most important thing I've come to believe in is that people with mental handicaps have a unique mission to bring God's blessing to the World.

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.

With yoga, you go back to your source to bloom again with joy and inner peace.

Had any poet adequately described the wretched ugliness of a loved one turned inside out with grief?

I'm too young to have experienced firsthand the '70s rock, but when I was in high school, me and my friends were super into Neil Young. That was the grunge era, and he was considered cool again

The love of one sole being is a barbarism; for it will be employed to the detriment of all the rest. So too the love of God.

Do not be the judge of people; do not make assumptions about others. A person is destroyed by holding judgments about others.

Talking to actors is the same as talking to any other artists; it's getting into the moment for them, and making sure they can lose themselves in the performance!

I just paint to fulfill an urge. When I don't have the urge, I just don't paint. This is not some stupid contest. But if it is, I feel like the winner that came in last.

That's the trouble with provincial life. Everyone knows everyone and there is no mystery. No romance.

It's impossible to fail completely and it's impossible to succeed perfectly.

Within tears, find hidden laughter Seek treasures amid ruins, sincere one.
