In the midst of death, life persists,
in the midst of untruth, truth persists,
in the midst of darkness, light persists. Hence I gather that God is life, truth, light.
He is love. He is the supreme Good.

There is orderliness in the universe,
Governing everything and every being that exists or lives.
It is not a blind law, for no blind law can govern the conduct of living beings,
– even matter is life.
I am regularly challenged over the Government’s policy on the detention of boat people, which is not morally black and white.
The argument runs; How can you live with yourself as a Catholic,
when your government treats people with such cruelty.
