When we do not adore God, we adore something else. Money and power are false idols which often take the place of God.

You pray for the hungry. Then you feed them. That's how prayer works.

The world tells us to seek success, power and money; God tells us to seek humility, service and love.

To change the world we must be good to those who cannot repay us.

Let us learn to live with kindness, to love everyone, even when they do not love us.

Let the Church always be a place of mercy and hope, where everyone is welcomed, loved and forgiven.

Having faith does not mean having no difficulties, but having the strength to face them, knowing we are not alone.

Holiness doesn't mean doing extraordinary things, but doing ordinary things with love and faith.

Throwing away food is like stealing from the table of those who are poor and hungry.

Wretched are those who are vindictive and spiteful.

Inequality is the root of social evil.

Love is God.

Maybe magic and love, together, can achieve what magic alone cannot.

...like that star of the waning summer who beyond all stars rises bathed in the ocean stream to glitter in brilliance.

Honesty whispers, "Don't get pricked by the thorns of lie.

I don't think San Francisco needs defending. I never meet anyone who doesn't love the place, Americans or others.

I was going to stay overnight at my friend's house - he said, "you'll have to sleep on the floor." Damn gravity! You don't know how bad I wanted to sleep on the wall.

The whole play of existence is so beautiful that laughter can be the only response to it. Only laughter can be the real prayer, gratitude.
