The great illusion of leadership is to think that man can be led out of the desert by someone who has never been there.

This brief lifetime is my opportunity to receive love, deepen love, grow in love, and give love.

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.

Ministry is a very confronting service. It does not allow people to live with illusions of immortality and wholeness. It keeps reminding others that they are mortal and broken, but also that with the recognition of this condition, liberation starts.

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.

Life is just a little opportunity for you during a few years to say, "I love you, too."

The spiritual life does not remove us from the world but leads us deeper into it
