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

From the moment we claim the truth of being the beloved, we are faced with the call to become who we are.

It's good to have a prayer on your lips wherever you go.

I wrote to my bishop, the Archbishop of Utrecht, Holland, and explained that I wanted not just permission to stay longer, but a mission. He met me at the Trosly L'Arche community and we spent a few days together . . . I wanted him to get to know L'Arche, to understand what I was doing there. Afterward he said, "I understand now, Henri. You have found a home for your self."

Without solitude it is virtually impossible to live a spiritual life. ...We do not take the spiritual life seriously if we do not set aside some time to be with God and listen to him.

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

Prayer is the most concrete way to make our home in God.
