• It happens all the time in heaven,
  And some day
  
  It will begin to happen
  Again on earth -
  
  That men and women who are married,
  And men and men who are
  Lovers,
  
  And women and women
  Who give each other
  Light,
  
  Often will get down on their knees
  
  And while so tenderly
  Holding their lover's hand,
  
  With tears in their eyes,
  Will sincerely speak, saying,
  
  My dear,
  How can I be more loving to you;
  
  How can I be more kind?

• If you ever hear yourself or anyone you care about starting to express the belief that a problem is permanent, it’s time to immediately shake that person loose. No matter what happens in your life, you’ve got to be able to believe, 'This, too, shall pass,' and that if you keep persisting, you’ll find a way.

• We must avoid the spiritual disease of the Church that can become self-referential: when this happens, the Church itself becomes sick. It’s true that accidents can happen when you go out into the street, as can happen to any man or woman. But if the Church remains closed onto itself, self-referential, it grows old. Between a Church that goes into the street and gets into an accident and a Church that is sick with self-referentiality, I have no doubts in preferring the first.
