Solitude does not pull us away from our fellow human beings but instead makes real fellowship possible.
It is precisely when you are loved a lot that you might realize a second loneliness which is not to be solved but lived. This second loneliness is an existential loneliness that belongs to the basis of our being. It's where we are unfulfilled because only God can fill us.
A happy life is a life for others.
The spiritual life does not remove us from the world but leads us deeper into it
The beginning and the end of all Christian leadership is to give your life for others.
Our brokenness has no other beauty but the beauty that comes from the compassion that surrounds it.
