The ancient spiritual tradition is that God gives himself fully to us in silence and solitude.

Our hearts of stone become hearts of flesh when we learn where the outcast weeps.

The dominant characteristic of an authentic spiritual life is the gratitude that flows from trust

The Word we study has to be the Word we pray.

Trust is that rare and priceless treasure that wins us the affection of our heavenly Father.

None of us has ever seen a motive. Therefore, we don't know we can't do anything more than suspect what inspires the action of another. For this good and valid reason, we're told not to judge. Tragedy is that our attention centers on what people are not, rather than on what they are and who they might become.

I knew there was only one place to go. I sank down into the center of my soul, grew still, and listened to the Rabbi's heartbeat.
