“Apostolic and missionary fruitfulness is not principally due to programmes and pastoral methods that are cleverly drawn up and "efficient", but is the result of the community's constant prayer (cf. "Evangelii Nuntiandi," 75). Moreover, for the mission to be effective, communities must be united, that is, they must be "of one heart and soul" (cf. Acts 4:32), and they must be ready to witness to the love and joy that the Holy Spirit instils in the hearts of the faithful (cf. Acts 4:32).”

“Apparence de paix
Pas de carnage ici, pas de mise à mort.
Les drames de l'histoire sont parfois
comme une musique qui demeure
au fond d'un champ où l'on marche
parmi le bruissement du maïs,
aimanté par des oiseaux fous
à l'orée du bois et sous un ciel
que strie la fumée blanche d'un avion
— en haute altitude, des voyageurs sans doute
sirotent l'apéro dans une carlingue
qui les protège du froid absolu —
mais ici-bas sous le vent tiède de septembre
la terre joue sa partition
ancienne, les enfant des fermes
s'en sont allés en sifflant dans l'herbe
et des veuves inconsolables hantent toujours
les parages de la rivière que l'on dit
paresseuse, à croire que le jour entier
va refermer sur elle sa masse bleue,
elles seront dans la caverne du temps,
les années chanteront leur absence
et très haut, oiseaux et bolides
iront vers ailleurs en ignorant tout
de leurs peines, leurs douleurs, leurs coffres
remplis de robes d'un autre âge.”

“Apparently almost anyone can do a better job of educating children than our so-called 'educators' in the public schools. Children who are home-schooled by their parents also score higher on tests than children educated in the public schools. ... Successful education shows what is possible, whether in charter schools, private schools, military schools or home-schooling. The challenge is to provide more escape hatches from failing public schools, not only to help those students who escape, but also to force these institutions to get their act together before losing more students and jobs.”
