"The opportunity is to recognize that although illness just happens, we can organize its experience to make our lives meaningful. We can have both a faith that allows us to accept whatever just happens and at the same time a will to bring about the change we desire."

"We are most faithful when active, just as we struggle best when we do not fight."
