When I talk of the importance of people of different religions coming together to pray, the response is frequently, "Oh, we are already doing that."

I am told though that most of the time the way that people of different religions are praying together is constrained and limited -- limited...

John Esposito, Professor of Religion and International Affairs and of Islamic Studies at Georgetown University, sent me a list of questions he would like to ask me when he interviewed me in New York at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine on March 14. Dr. Esposito has...

At this time of the year it's very easy to believe that romantic love is the-be-all-and-end-all of love.

This is so untrue. Self-love is the most important form of love. If you don't love yourself you cannot love anyone else properly. Most of us don't love ourselves enough, we judge...

Being a parent is the most important job in the world. It's a job full of joy but it's also one of the hardest and most challenging.

I have been seeing angels since I was a baby. I see them physically as I would see someone standing in front...

At heart we are all innocent. We recognise this innocence in children but, as we have grown up, many of us have struggled to hold on to this innocence and have hidden it under a hard and cynical attitude. Life can be tough and this can shatter our innocence in...

A gift, no matter how small, is a statement that you care about someone. It is a gesture of love and peace that can make an enormous difference to a person. Acts of kindness are very important, but a gift endures in a way that an act of kindness doesn't....

Giving thanks helps us to appreciate the good things that are in our lives. So much of the time we fail to appreciate what we have, be it friends, family, health or a roof over our head. Yes, things may be tough and we may have worries but far too...

I don't think most Americans realize how important they are to the world.

America is meant to be a major force for good in our world. America does lots of good things now, but when America starts to show it's true character and does the right thing even more often,...

Our world is going through massive change on every level. Our trust and faith in the future has been severely shaken. Material wealth has proved to be a false God. There is no longer a certainty of a job and many institutions that we may have trusted -- government, business,...

Many of the men I come across think that angels are silly or frivolous. This is partially a reflection of what modern society has done to angels. Angels are enormously powerful creatures who, throughout history, have been feared, revered and have done massive things. Some people, however, have tried to...

"I don't believe in angels. ... I don't believe in any of that nonsense at all," said the woman. I smiled to myself. I could see the light of her guardian angel behind her and six big, beautiful, white angels around her.

I have been seeing and talking with...

I hate when people talk about finding their "life purpose."

I meet so many people who are letting life pass them by as they search for this elusive "destiny." So many people think that unless their life is extraordinary, they have not achieved what they are here for.

We so...

We all have a guardian angel. Your guardian angel is there with you now, whether you believe it or not.

I meet lots of people who tell me they don't believe in angels. I do. But then, I have been seeing angels since I was a baby. I see them...

We are all accountable. In recent times there has been an enormous increase in the number of people being held accountable for their actions -- Gaddafi, Bin Laden, Mubarak, Karadžić, Murdoch, officials in the Catholic Church who failed to protect children from abuse, business leaders involved in taking excessive bonuses...

Each and every suicide in the world diminishes you and me. No matter if you don't know the person, their family, or even if they live on the other side of the world from you -- their decision to end this life prematurely affects you. It silently shatters a part...

Every one of us who has even a drop of Irish blood has a special spirituality engrained within us -- a flame that burns deep down within our souls, connecting us to the deep spirituality of our roots. This is what we celebrate on St. Patrick's Day.

I have seen...

The first time I saw an American gathering angel was when I was about six and growing up in Ireland. I have been seeing angels since I was a baby, I see them physically as I would see someone standing in front of me and no day has passed in...

As the Sikh man walked towards the circle of unlit candles he was surrounded by angels. Behind him stood his guardian angel and as he reached to taper out to light the candle, his guardian angel reached out as if to hold the taper with him. The Sikh man lit...

I see angels all the time, and have seen them every day since I was a baby. I see them physically just as I would see you if you were standing in front of me, and if there is no one around, I talk to them and listen to them...
