Prayer begins where our power ends.

The higher goal of spiritual living is not to amass a wealth of information, but to face sacred moments.

When religion speaks only in the name of authority rather than with the voice of compassion, its message becomes meaningless.

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

Just to be is a blessing. Just to live is holy.

It is dangerous to take human freedom for granted, to regard it as a prerogative rather than as an obligation, as an ultimate fact rather than as an ultimate goal. It is the beginning of wisdom to be amazed at the fact of our being free.

Prayer is meaningless unless it is subversive, unless it seeks to overthrow and to ruin the pyramids of callousness, hatred, opportunism, falsehoods. The liturgical movement must become a revolutionary movement seeking to overthrow the forces that continue to destroy the promise, the hope, the vision.
