Notable guest quotes:
“I was the ‘leper’ in school, something I, of course, hated at the time, but now I kind of embrace it because isn’t in the Bible the word, right, leper?”
“A woman, something happened, boom, I’m in, ya’ know. I always felt the need to take care of the problem because now it was my gift, I thought.”
“I think (God) waited. He waited for the right moment… He also gave me a whole bunch of injuries, to make me retire, which was something I hated at the time but now I’m embracing it.”
“Everybody in hell is proud.”
“I’m very happy now that everything was done the way it was done and I truly believe that when I was ten years old there was a little seed planted in my head by the Lord.”
“And then a whole St. Thérèse thing starts happening… Everything started flowing together. It was just really weird, and, but really cool.”
“Slowly but surely I started doing everything in Latin. I think it’s a little bit deeper for me. I also like Latin Mass a lot.”
“I always wanted to say… ‘Hey, for all the people who do this, this, and this, read Revelation 3:16.’ This is where Jesus talks about the lukewarm, that he will [spit you] out of [my] mouth… They’re in the middle, who do just the minimum amount to get passed by. He’s not really happy with those people.”
“I need at least an hour-and-a-half in the morning for my prayers and my meditation and for everything that I do, the daily readings, and I go into the reflection, I go really deep, the divine intimacy, I do a lot.”
“Doing a small good thing is still doing good. Doing a small evil thing is still doing evil. It doesn’t matter what measure it is. Evil is evil, good is good. So, try to always do something good, and not evil.”
