Prayer is not what is done by us, but rather what is done by the Holy Spirit in us.

Every time you reject yourself, you idealize others

You have to dare to live through the pain and struggle. Acknowledge your anguish but do not let it pull you out of yourself. Hold on to your chosen direction, your discipline, your prayer, your work, your guides, and trust that one day love will have conquered enough of you that even the most fearful part will allow love to cast out all fear.

Today I personally believe that while Jesus came to open the door to God's house, all human beings can walk through that door, whether they know about Jesus or not. Today I see it as my call to help every person claim his or her own way to God.

The world is waiting for new saints, ecstatic men and women who are so deeply rooted in the love of God that they are free to imagine a new international order.

Hiddenness is the place of purification. In hiddenness we find our true selves.

If you meet God in solitude, you discover the God you meet is the God who embraces all people.
