"Living together is an art, a patient, beautiful, fascinating journey... It does not end once you have won each other’s love."

"I am a sinner, and I need the mercy of God."

"We must not be afraid to be a bit messy, to be a bit untidy. The Church should not be a neat and tidy thing."

"We have forgotten to weep. We have forgotten to weep for the victims of war, for the poor, for the discarded."

"Always keep in mind that the Church is not a museum of saints, but a hospital for sinners."
