I feel strongly that the God we meet in solitude is always the God who calls us to community.

To learn patience is not to rebel against every hardship.

We can be unhappy about many things, but jy can still be there... It is important to become aware that at every moment of our life we have an opportunity to choose joy... It is in the choice that our true freedom lies, and that freedom is, in the final analysis, the freedom to love.

The soul of the artist cannot remain hidden.

Discipline in the spiritual life is the concentrated effort to create the space and time where God can become our master and where we can respond freely to God's guidance.

Resentment and gratitude cannot coexist, since resentment blocks the perception and experience of life as a gift. My resentment tells me that I don't receive what I deserve. It always manifests itself in envy.

Every time I take a step in the direction of generosity, I know I am moving from fear to love.
