Pay attention to the people God puts in your path if you want to discern what God is up to in your life.

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.

As long as we relate to the trees, the rivers, the mountains, the fields and the oceans as properties which we can manipulate according to our real or fabricated needs, nature remains opaque, and does not reveal to us its true being.

Solitude, community, and ministry are certainly not just for celibates! Celibates also have a hard time keeping up.

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

The soul of the artist cannot remain hidden.

Patience asks us to live the moment to the fullest, to be completely present to the moment, to taste the here and now, to be where we are. When we are impatient we try to get away from where we are. We behave as if the real thing will happen tomorrow, later, and somewhere else. Let's be patient and trust that the treasure we look for is hidden in the ground on which we stand.
