“Mentoring is: Sharing Life's Experiences and God's Faithfulness”

“How many people ask you to come share their life?”

“I always know it's Sunday because I wake up feeling apologetic. That's one of the cool things about being a Catholic . . . it's a multifaceted experience. If you lose the faith, chances are you'll keep the guilt, so it isn't as if you've been skunked altogether.”

“How right that the body changed over time, becoming a gallery of scars, a canvas of experience, a testament to life and one's capacity to endure it.”

“Shame is always easier to handle if you have someone to share it with.”

“God remains the same—faithful, loving and powerful—through changes big and small.”

“It's easy to write upcoming scenes in books and television shows. Trusting God to write them in real life is a lot harder. But it's worth it. And you have to admit, it's an adventure.”
