In my reading and in my studies I always tried to achieve a harmony between faith, reason, and the heart. These are not separate areas, but are profoundly interconnected, each giving life to the other.

Precisely in an age when the inviolable rights of the person are solemnly proclaimed and the value of life is publicly affirmed, the very right to life is being denied or trampled upon, especially at the more significant moments of existence: the moment of birth and the moment of death.

Are you capable of risking your life for someone? Do it for Christ.

None of us is alone in this world; each of us is a vital piece of the great mosaic of humanity as a whole.

Do not be afraid, then, when love makes demands. Do not be afraid when love requires sacrifice.

The modern world, a world which has experienced marvelous achievements but which seems to have lost its sense of ultimate realities and of existence itself.

I cannot fail to note once again that the poor constitute the modern challenge, especially for the well-off of our planet, where millions of people live in inhuman conditions and many are literally dying of hunger.

Life with Christ is a wonderful adventure.

Man must reconcile himself to his natural greatness.... he must not forget that he is a person.

Reason and faith cannot be separated without diminishing the capacity of men and women to know themselves, the world and God in an appropriate way.

May the culture of life and love render vain the logic of death.

It's better to cry than be angry, because anger hurts others while tears flow silently through the soul and cleans the heart.

There is no peace without justice, and no justice without forgiveness.
