"When a person is evoked for who she is, not who she is not, the most often result will be the inner healing of her heart through the touch of affirmation.Jesus said you are to love one another as I have loved you, a love that will possibly lead to the bloody, anguish gift of yourself, a love that forgives seven times seven, that keeps no record of wrong. This is the criterion, sole norm, the standard of discipleship in the New Israel of God."

"The gospel declares that no matter how dutiful or prayerful we are, we can't save ourselves. What Jesus did was sufficient."
Theology
"The story goes that a public sinner was excommunicated and forbidden entry to the church. He took his woes to God. 'They won't let me in, Lord, because I am a sinner.'What are you complaining about?' said God. 'They won't let Me in either."
Healing
"Trust is that rare and priceless treasure that wins us the affection of our heavenly Father."
Trust
"Everybody has a vocation to some form of life - work. However, behind that call (and deeper than any call), everybody has a vocation to be a person to be fully and deeply human in Christ Jesus."
Purpose
"The sinners to whom Jesus directed His messianic ministry were not those who skipped morning devotions or Sunday church. His ministry was to those whom society considered real sinners. They had done nothing to merit salvation. Yet they opened themselves to the gift that was offered them. On the other hand, the self - righteous placed their trust in the works of the Law and closed their hearts to the message of grace."
Consequence
"The sorrow of God lies in our fear of Him, our fear of life, and our fear of ourselves. He anguishes over our self - absorption and self - sufficiency... God's sorrow lies in our refusal to approach Him when we sinned and failed."
Fear
"Several times in my ministry people have expressed the fear that self - acceptance will abort the ongoing conversion process and lead to a life of spiritual laziness and moral laxity. Nothing could be more untrue. The acceptance of self does not mean to be resigned to the status quo. On the contrary, the more fully we accept ourselves, the more successfully we begin to grow. Love is a far better stimulus than threat or pressure."
Self
"On one level, a roomful of men is always a dangerous thing. Competition is usually in the air, so the potential for violence is always nearby."
Anger
"How I treat a brother or sister from day to day, how I react to the sin - scarred wino on the street, how I respond to interruptions from people I dislike, how I deal with normal people in their normal confusion on a normal day may be a better indication of my reverence for life than the antiabortion sticker on the bumper of my car."
Compassion
"The dominant characteristic of an authentic spiritual life is the gratitude that flows from trust - not only for all the gifts that I receive from God, but gratitude for all the suffering. Because in that purifying experience, suffering has often been the shortest path to intimacy with God."
