A monk asks:Is there anything more miraculous than the wonders of nature?The master answers:Yes, your awareness of the wonders of nature.

If Christ were born in Bethlehem a thousand times and not in thee thyself; then art thou lost eternally.

The name of Jesus is as ointment poured forth; It nourishes, and illumines, and stills the anguish of the soul.

Christ could be born a thousand times in Bethlehem - but all in vain until He is born in me.

If in your heart you make a manger for his birth then God will once again become a child on earth.

God, whose love and joy are present everywhere, can't come to visit you unless you aren't there.

I am like God and God like me. I am as large as God. He is as small as I. He cannot above me nor I beneath him be.
