Having grown up Protestant, I was unfamiliar with St. Francis. Then I watched the movie 'Brother Sun, Sister Moon'... I just became fascinated with the character of St. Francis. What I saw in that movie was a man who had fallen in love with God, someone for whom God was everything.

I think I would like to be a monk. I really considered Catholicism a few years ago, but there were some things that I just couldn't reconcile.

A lot of people are sitting around waiting for God to tell them what to do. I think God is saying ‘Do what you want!’ If he wants me to express His love, I need to find a way to do it.

I believe what I believe is what makes me what I am.

I take comfort in knowing that it was the shepherds to whom the angels appeared when they announced Christ’s birth. Invariably throughout the course of history, God has appeared to people on the fringes. It’s nice to find theological justification for your quirks.

I think I would envy me too, if I didn’t know me better...

The biggest problem with life is that it’s just daily.

You will never understand what you’re doin’. But God does.

There’s a difference, you know, between faith and playing make-believe. One will make you grow. The other one will make you sleep.

We just can’t love without God. God wants for us want we want for ourselves. These basic things are not that hard to grasp. We just have to have faith, and faith is a gift. We just need to accept it.
