That's prayer to let God's Word speak deep within you and tell you, "You are my beloved. You don't have to take an eye for an eye. No, no you're too rich for that."

Hiddenness is the place of purification. In hiddenness we find our true selves.

For Jesus, there are no countries to be conquered, no ideologies to be imposed, no people to be dominated. There are only children, women and men to be loved.

A happy life is a life for others.

In solitude we become aware that our worth is not the same as our usefulness.
