Asking people for money is giving them the opportunity to put their resources at the disposal of the Kingdom.

When people show you their boundaries ("I can't do this for you") you feel rejected...part of your struggle is to set boundaries to your own love. Only when you are able to set your own boundaries will you be able to acknowledge, respect and even be grateful for the boundaries of others.

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

The more we touch the intimate love of God which creates, sustains, and guides us, the more we recognize the multitude of fruits that come forth from that love.

As a general remark, I would say we must move from the moral to the mystical life.

There are areas I have to work on. I had some questions and some struggles, but it was an enormously important time for me.

This brief lifetime is my opportunity to receive love, deepen love, grow in love, and give love.
