I have found it very important...to let go of my wishes and start hoping.

Somehow, somewhere, I know that God loves me, even though I do not feel that love as I can feel a human embrace, even though I do not hear a voice as I hear human words...God is greater than my senses, greater than my thoughts, greater than my heart. I do believe that He touches me in places that are unknown even to myself.

For me the university has always been an ideal context for spiritual formation. I always felt that if you want to offer spiritual formation at the university, you can.

Prayer is not a pious decoration of life but the breath of human existence.

There are as many ways to pray as there are moments in life.

The spiritual life is not a life before, after, or beyond our everyday existence. No, the spiritual life can only be real when it is lived in the midst of the pains and joys of the here and now.

If you feel loved, you can do a thousand things. If you feel rejected, everything becomes a problem.
