Prayer is the breath of your life which gives you the freedom to go and stay where you wish and to find the many signs which point out the way to a new land.

Listening is a form of spiritual hospitality by which you invite strangers to become friends, to get to know their inner selves more fully, and even to dare to be silent with you.

Ministry means the ongoing attempt to put one's own search for God, with all the moments of pain and joy, despair and hope, at the disposal of those who want to join this search but do not know how.

In community, where you have all the affection you could ever dream of, you feel that there is a place where even community cannot reach. That's a very important experience. In that loneliness, which is like a dark night of the soul, you learn that God is greater than community.

Waiting is a period of learning. The longer we wait, the more we hear about him for whom we are waiting.

The church is not an institution forcing us to follow rules but a community inviting us to still our hunger and thirst at its table.

Patience asks us to live the moment to the fullest, to be completely present to the moment, to taste the here and now, to be where we are.
