“What I see around me would drive me insane if I did not know that no matter what happens, God will have the last word.”

“Be with someone who will take care of you. Not materialistically, but take care of your soul, your well being, your heart.”

“The world says: "You have needs -- satisfy them. You have as much right as the rich and the mighty. Don't hesitate to satisfy your needs; indeed, expand your needs and demand more." This is the worldly doctrine of today. And they believe that this is freedom. The result for the rich is isolation and suicide, for the poor, envy and murder.”

“Sexuality, which is at the heart of the formation of marriage and the family in exhibiting the relation of two persons with a soul, must respect the order of reason and the objective truth of human nature which is present in the relationship which each thing enjoys to the perfection of the human soul. Affirming the essence of man as a person and so the personal value of the other, one cannot treat sex as simply a biological or material thing which man makes use of as the individual seeks fit. Since sexuality is exercised by a being with a spirit and ordered to the existence of other beings with a spirit which transcends matter, it always transcends the material order and must have a moral dimension.”
