Mysticism is for all, not just for a few special people.

I have an increasing sense that the most important crisis of our time is spiritual and that we need places where people can grow stronger in the spirit and be able to integrate the emotional struggles in their spiritual journeys.

What is forgotten cannot be healed, and that which cannot be healed easily becomes the cause of greater evil.

Those who keep speaking about the sun while walking under a cloudy sky are messengers of hope, the true saints of our day.

Only in the context of the great encounter with Jesus can a real authentic struggle take place. The encounter with Christ does not take place before, after, or beyond the struggle with our false self and its demons. No, it is precisely in the midst of this struggle that our Lord comes to us and says, as he said to the old man in the story: ‘As soon as you turned to me again, you see I was beside you.’

Friendship and love are impossible without a mutual vulnerability.

a spiritual life without prayer is like the gospel without Christ.
