“The recognition of men is fleeting and passes quickly but the love of God for His children remains true throughout our lives.”

“In any case, if recognition arising from proximate circumstances based upon fleeting criteria constitutes the sole measure of our personal significance, recognition will be both mercurial and insufficient. ”

“God is our Father and loves us, even when his silence remains incomprehensible.”

“Let us live not only to serve God ourselves; let us live to help our children and their children live for God.”

“God became man that dehumanized men might become true men. We become true men in the community of the incarnate, the suffering and loving, the human God.”

“To bring up our children in light and truth we must ourselves be sources of light and truth. We must not only teach our children true principles but 'bring them up' surrounded by and immersed in light and truth. The way we live (our 'traditions'), the example we set, and the values that guide our actions must lead our children to God. Indeed, our children learn who God is and what he is like by the way that we treat them.”
