“We are taught...Love your neighbor as yourself (Mark 12:31)So say a prayer for children in despair and then go out and help someone in need. You will make a world of difference.”

“Jesus tells us: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself’ (Mk 12:31). How can we love our neighbor if we can’t or won’t love ourselves, at least a little? When we hold ourselves to unrealistic standards, that perfectionist attitude can’t help but trickle down. It becomes harder to have compassion for others if we have no compassion for ourselves.”

“Love thy neighbor as thyself because you are your neighbor. It is illusion that makes you think that your neighbor is someone other than yourself. ”

“We are not taught "love thy neighbor unless their skin is a different color from yours " or "love thy neighbor unless they don't make money as you do" or "love thy neighbor unless they don't share your belies." We are taught "love thy neighbor". No exceptions. We are all in this together - every single one of us. And the only way we are going to survive as a society is through compassion. A Great Community does not mean we all think the same things or do the same things. It simply means we are willing to work together and are willing to love despite our differences.”

“As you sip your morning coffee...please say a prayer for the people of Tibet and all other children of humanity that are suffering despair & hopelessness throughout our world.”

“To all thinking about hurting yourself over your despair: it will get better if you allow it to...it always does. Now please go out and find the help you need to get better!”
