Certainly we disagree with the Communist Party, as we disagree with other political parties who are trying to maintain the American way of life.

This is so rich a country that luxury has developed at the expense of necessities, and even the destitute partake of the luxury. We are the rich country of the world, like Dives at the feast. We must try hard, we must study to be poor like Lazarus at the gate, who was taken into Abraham's bosom.

With prayer, one can go on cheerfully and even happily. Without prayer, how grim a journey!

I really only love God as much as I love the person I love the least.

An individual can march for peace or vote for peace and can have, perhaps, some small influence on global concerns. But the same individual is a giant in the eyes of a child at home. If peace is to be built, it must start with the individual. It is built brick by brick.

When you love people, you see all the good in them, all the Christ in them. God sees Christ, His Son, in us and loves us. And so we should see Christ in others, and nothing else, and love them. There can never be enough of it. There can never be enough thinking about it.

Love and ever more love is the only solution to every problem that comes up.

It is penance to work, to give oneself to others, to endure the pinpricks of community living.

The theoretician of the Marxist revolution in Cuba certainly wasn't Castro. It was Don Carlos Rafaelo Rodriguez. He was the theoretician and very often people say he will take over. But I don't believe it. I think that it's a very good combination - the Catholic man working together with a man like that who has everything pretty well planned.

The only answer in this life, to the loneliness we are all bound to feel, is community.

If you have two coats, one of them belongs to the poor.

We must recognize the fact that many Nazis, Marxists and Fascists believe passionately in their fundamental rightness, and allow nothing to hinder them from their goal in the pursuit of their mission.

Every Marxist group that I've known has its theoreticians.

The holy man was the whole man, the man of integrity, who not only tried to change the world, but to live in it as it was.

It wasn't until Castro marched triumphantly into Cuba that you might say the whole thing grew into a Marxist revolution.

Think what the world could look like if we took care of the poor even half as well as we do our Bibles!

You will know your vocation by the joy that it brings you. You will know. You will know when it's right.
