- If we believe that in Him all things are brought to completion, then I have to believe that my God, as well as the Blessed Mother, are working with me to make sure that we’re all seen as equal, even if we are unique, and that we all have the ability to reach completion. — Sara Martinez Tucker
- Explore what your prayer life would be like if you didn’t have the material possessions you’re used to. How would that shape your spirituality and your thinking?
- Vulnerability in leadership is essential. Christ came into the world in a vulnerable way and vulnerability is what connects us as human beings.

- I realized that each and every one of us has the ability, at any given moment, to rise above our human frailties and limitations and testify to a love that is greater than us all. — Lou Nanni

- A life lived by other people’s scripts just doesn’t work. — Parker Palmer
