“As priests we pass along the compassion of our God to those who need it.... We should offer and extend God's compassion with courage and great care."

"In different times and in different ways, our heavenly Father offers us a simple proposition: Follow me beyond what you can control, beyond where your own strengths and competencies can take you, and beyond what is affirmed or risked by the crowd -- and you will experience me and my power and my wisdom and my love."
