Aging does not need to be hidden or denied, but can be understood, affirmed and experienced as a process of growth by which the mystery of life is slowly revealed to us.

I want my work to create space where people can meet God, rather than give them something they can "apply" to their daily life.

I have always felt that if I am very personal and connected with what I myself am living, my writing will transcend ecclesial boundaries.

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.

Although I am a committed Catholic priest, and nowhere hide that fact, my focus is very much a spiritual journey.

Prayer is first of all listening to God. It's openness. God is always speaking; he's always doing something.

Waiting is a dry desert between where we are and where we want to be. (Finding My Way Home)
