To be is to stand for.

Prayer cannot bring water to parched fields, or mend a broken bridge, or rebuild a ruined city; but prayer can water an arid soul, mend a broken heart, and rebuild a weakened will.

There is a realm of time where the goal is not to have but to be, not to own but to give, not to control but to share, not to subdue but to be in accord. Life goes wrong when the control of space, the acquisition of things of space, becomes our sole concern.

The hour calls for moral grandeur and spiritual audacity.

Spiritual life begins to decay when we fail to sense the grandeur of what is eternal in time.

God is either of no importance, or of supreme importance.

I did not ask for success; I asked for wonder.
