Discipline in the spiritual life is the concentrated effort to create the space and time where God can become our master and where we can respond freely to God's guidance.

Keep a space where God can let something totally new take place.

Listening is much more than allowing another to talk while waiting for a chance to respond. Listening is paying full attention to others and welcoming them into our very beings. The beauty of listening is that those who are listened to start feeling accepted, start taking our words more seriously and discovering their true selves.

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

Prayer is the beginning and the end, the source and the fruit, the core and the content, the basis and the goal of all peacemaking.

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

Active waiting means present fully to the moment, in the conviction that something is happening where you are and that you want to be present to it.
