René Dubois, "Piensa globalmente, actúa localmente"

I can sympathize with everything, except suffering.

Anybody can sympathise with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fine nature to sympathise with a friend's success.

When someone thinks that to develop a holy life he must always be alone with God, he is no longer of any use to others.

What is the sign of a friend? Is it that he tells you his secret sorrows? No, it is that he tells you his secret joys. Many people will confide their secret sorrows to you, but the final mark of intimacy is when they share their secret joys with you.

Let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together." Hebrews 10:24—25

To live a distant, withdrawn, and secluded life is diametrically opposed to spirituality as Jesus Christ taught it.

One of the most subtle burdens God ever put on us as saints is the burden of discernment concerning other souls. He reveals things in order that we may take the burden of the souls before Him and form the mind of Christ about them. It is not that we bring God into touch with our minds, but that we rouse ourselves until God is able to convey His mind to us about the one for whom we intercede.

If we obey God it is going to cost other people more than it costs us, and that is where the sting comes in

Vicarious intercession means that we deliberately substitute God's interests in others for our natural sympathy with them.

A heartless Christian must be a terrible grief to our Lord.

You must live with people to know their problems, and live with God in order to solve them.
