The gospel word of the day can become like a painting on the walls. of your inner room, the inner room that is your heart.

Your body needs to be held and to hold, to be touched and to touch. None of these needs is to be despised, denied, or repressed. But you have to keep searching for your body's deeper need, the need for genuine love. Every time you are able to go beyond the body's superficial desires for love, you are bringing your body home and moving toward integration and unity.

Solitude does not pull us away from our fellow human beings but instead makes real fellowship possible.

As we are involved in unceasing thinking, so we are called to unceasing prayer.

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.

God is a God of the present. God is always in the moment, be that moment hard or easy, joyful and painful.

Through discipline, discipline is the other side of discipleship. If you want to follow Jesus, you have to have discipline.
