The beginning and the end of all Christian leadership is to give your life for others.

Writing is not just a job. It helps me to pray. It's a way of being.

Let’s not be afraid to look at everything that has brought us to where we are now and trust that we will soon see in it the guiding hand of a loving God.

Prayer is the way to both the heart of God and the heart of the world - precisely because they have been joined through the suffering of Jesus Christ Praying is letting one's own heart become the place where the tears of God's children merge and become tears of hope.

Take prayer with you wherever you go. Say it anytime, and then focus your mind and heart on God.

People forget ideas; they don't forget the real presence.

Praying is no easy matter. It demands a relationship in which you allow someone other than yourself to enter into the very center of your person, to see there what you would rather leave in darkness, and to touch there what you would rather leave untouched.
