There is nothing so important in the family as the sacred quality of the meal.

The church is not an institution forcing us to follow rules but a community inviting us to still our hunger and thirst at its table.

Listening is a form of spiritual hospitality by which you invite strangers to become friends, to get to know their inner selves more fully, and even to dare to be silent with you.

Listening is much more than allowing another to talk while waiting for a chance to respond. Listening is paying full attention to others and welcoming them into our very beings. The beauty of listening is that those who are listened to start feeling accepted, start taking our words more seriously and discovering their true selves.

Our glory is hidden in our pain, if we allow God to bring the gift of himself in our experience of it.

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

...real care means the willingness to help each other in making our brokenness into the gateway to joy.
