God, help me to see others not as enemies or as ungodly but rather as thirsty people. And give me the courage and compassion to offer your Living Water, which alone quenches deep thirst.

The friend who cares makes it clear that whatever happens in the external world, being present to each other is what really matters. In fact, it matters more than pain, illness, or even death.

Peace is first of all the art of being.

You have to listen to the one who calls you beloved. That has to be affirmed over and over again. That is prayer - listening to the voice of the one who calls you "the beloved."

Friendship has always belonged to the core of my spiritual journey.

When you have loved deeply, that love can grow even stronger after the death of the person you love. That is the core message of Jesus.

Let's dare to enter into an intimate relationship with God without fear, trusting that we will receive love and always more love.
