“Homeless people go to bed freezing and wake up shaking in the morning, even if they have a sleeping bag. If they don’t have a sleeping bag, it’s unlikely they’ll get any sleep during the night. They shake all night and sleep during the day. If it wasn’t for the soup runs many of these people would die. So I say that people who’ve been unable to find a job should be ‘volunteered’ into food bank work”

“Society inures us to acts of immorality and decadence. We passively accept violence and exploitation as part of the cultural normative. When the Wall Street Kings crashed their money mobile, Congress was quick to pass bailout bills.

“Sometimes we must do for others what God puts on our hearts to do . . . But things don't always work out the way we expect or hope they will. We can't always be assured that the person we're trying to help will accept our love and help. And we can never expect them to appreciate what we try to do for them. We just have to do our best and leave the rest to God.”
