Holy joy lies in the habit of murmuring thanks to God for the smallest of graces.

...the secret to joy is to keep seeking God where we doubt He is.

Life is so urgent and necessitates living slow. It's only the amateurs-and that I've been, and it's been ugly-who thinks slow and urgent are contradictory.

The whole of the life -- even the hard -- is made up of the minute parts, and if I miss the infinitesimals, I miss the whole. These are new language lessons, and I live them out. There is a way to live the big of giving thanks in all things. It is this: to give thanks in this one small thing. The moments will add up.

Practice is the hardest part of learning, and training is the essence of transformation.

All God makes is good. Can it be that that which seems to oppose the will of God actually is used of Him to accomplish the will of God?

Real joy is not found in having the best of everything but in trusting that God is making the best of everything.
