Prayer is the center of the Christian life. It is the only necessary thing. It is living with God, here and now.

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

The spiritual life is a life beyond moods. It is a life in which we choose joy and do not allow ourselves to become victims of passing feelings of happiness or depression.

The spiritual life does not remove us from the world but leads us deeper into it

Theological formation is the gradual and often painful discovery of God's incomprehensibility. You can be competent in many things, but you cannot be competent in God.

Our brokenness has no other beauty but the beauty that comes from the compassion that surrounds it.

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