I often wonder if my knowledge about God has not become my greatest stumbling block to my knowledge of God.

That is our vocation: to convert the enemy into a guest and to create the free and fearless space where brotherhood and sisterhood can be formed and fully experienced.

Take prayer with you wherever you go. Say it anytime, and then focus your mind and heart on God.

Praying is no easy matter. It demands a relationship in which you allow someone other than yourself to enter into the very center of your person, to see there what you would rather leave in darkness, and to touch there what you would rather leave untouched.

When I could no longer cling to my normal supports I discovered that true support and real safety lie far beyond the structures of our world.

Today I personally believe that while Jesus came to open the door to God's house, all human beings can walk through that door, whether they know about Jesus or not. Today I see it as my call to help every person claim his or her own way to God.

The leaders of the future will be those who dare to claim their irrelevance in the contemporary world as a divine vocation.
