“To see ourselves as we truly areâ€”a wisp of love itselfâ€”is perhaps our deepest fear. But it is also our greatest grace. If we are to be the new human, we must begin by embracing love, which always seeks to incarnate itself. Love is enfleshed everywhere. Everywhere the Holy One is shouting and whispering, â€˜Let me love you.â€™ And all that is asked of us is to receive. In reality, that is our lifeâ€™s work. Nothing more, and certainly nothing less.”
“Be true to Love. Do not betray Her. Then, on the day that the forest of the mind bursts into flames, you will not run. You will remain silent and still; for this is when Love bears Her sweetest fruit: untouched Presence.”
“My view is when you use violence on your people, that never ends well.”
“The Supreme Court's 1947 decision which introduced the wall of separation between church and state 'has fueled a movement to sterilize anything in American public life from religion.'”
“Men should take their knowledge from the Sun, the Moon and the Stars.”
“Ricky Ricky Ricky, can't you see? Somehow your words just hypnotize me.”
