"Ragamuffins are simple, direct and honest. Their speech is unaffected. They are slow to claim, 'God told me...' As they make their way through the world, they bear wordless, prophetic witness."
"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."
"Recognize that God is with you. Acknowledge God knows what He's doing. Search for God's will: the path He desires you to take in life. Consider what God did for you when He sent Jesus to die on the cross (forgiveness and righteousness)"

No, not one."
"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."
"We can only sense ourselves and our world valued and cherished by God when we feel valued and cherished by others."
"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."
