“No man is poor who has a Godly mother.”

“It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor. ”

“God is in the slums, in the cardboard boxes where the poor play house. God is in the silence of a mother who has infected her child with a virus that will end both their lives. God is in the cries heard under the rubble of war. God is in the debris of wasted opportunity and lives, and God is with us if we are with them.”

“... But the one thing we can all agree -- all faiths, all ideologies -- is that God is with the vulnerable and poor. God is in the slums, in the cardboard boxes where the poor play house. God is in the silence of a mother who has infected her child with a virus that will end both their lives. God is in the cries heard under the rubble of war. God is in the debris of wasted opportunity and lives, and God is with us if we are with them.”

“Rich or poor, strong or weak, who among us has not begged God for a second chance?”

“The knowledge of the cross brings a conflict of interest between God who has become man and man who wishes to become God.”
