My hope is that the description of God's love in my life will give you the freedom and the courage to discover... God's love in yours.

Peacemaking is a full-time vocation that includes each member of God's people.

The members - mentally handicapped people who are marginal in society and not useful in an economic sense - welcomed me into their lives. And I was loved, not because of what s doing but because of who I was.

Perhaps nothing helps us make the movement from our little selves to a larger world than remembering God in gratitude. Such a perspective puts God in view in all of life, not just in the moments we set aside for worship or spiritual disciplines. Not just in the moments when life seems easy.

I am working on three things: on being a prayerful person; on staying close to the handicapped; and on my writing. These are my constant concerns.

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

The crisis of our prayer life is that our minds may be filled with ideas of God while our hearts remain far from him.
