...the word that seems best to summarize the desire of the human heart is 'communion.' ...wherever we look it is communion that we seek.

A waiting person is a patient person. The word patience means the willingness to stay where we are and live the situation out to the full in the belief that something hidden there will manifest itself to us.

Solitude is the place where we can connect with profound bonds that are deeper than the emergency bonds of fear and anger.

The real question is: how can I live so that my death will be fruitful for others?

I feel strongly that the God we meet in solitude is always the God who calls us to community.

Community is first of all a quality of the heart. It grows from the spiritual knowledge that we are alive not for ourselves but for one another.

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