"I work harder than God!
If he had hired me, he would have made the world by Thursday."

Father Brian Kilkenney Finn
"Sometimes we don't see certain things
until we're ready to see them in a certain way."

Father Brian Kilkenney Finn
"it's very important to understand the difference between religion and faith. Because faith is not about having the right answers.
Faith is a feeling. Faith is a hunch, really.
It's a hunch that there is something bigger connecting it all... connecting us all together. And that feeling, that hunch, is God."

Rabbi Jacob "Jake" Schram, Father Brian Kilkenney Finn
"- Jews want their rabbis to be the kind of Jews
they don't have the time to be.
Yeah, and Catholics want their priests to be the kind of Catholics they don't have the discipline to be."

Anna Reilly
"You don't understand. I have a relationship with my phone,
we have a chemistry together, I can't explain it."
