When we love and respect people, revealing to them their value, they can begin to come out from behind the walls that protect them.

Community is a sign that love is possible in a materialistic world where people so often either ignore or fight each other. It is a sign that we don't need a lot of money to be happy--in fact, the opposite.

Every human activity can be put at the service of the divine and of love. We should all exercise our gift to build community.

When people love each other, they are content with very little. When we have light and joy in our hearts, we don't need material wealth. The most loving communities are often the poorest. If our own life is luxurious and wasteful, we can't approach poor people. If we love people, we want to identify with them and share with them.

We work for peace every time we exercise authority with wisdom and authentic love.

The word love has been so abused by publicity and advertisements that we no longer know really what it means.
