Peacemaking is a full-time vocation that includes each member of God's people.

When you are still young and not yet adult, you want to hold everything in your own hands, but if you have your hands open toward prayer, you are able to stretch out your arms and let yourself be led without knowing where. You know only the freedom which God's breath has brought you will lead to new life, even if the cross is the only sign of it you can see.

In God's eyes the most significant is often the most hidden.

[...]when two people have become present to each other, the waiting of one must be able to cross the narrow line between the living or dying of the other.

Be sure that you make a difference in the world.

A friend is more than a therapist or confessor, even though a friend can sometimes heal us and offer us God's forgiveness. A friend is that other person with whom we can share our solitude, our silence, and our prayer. A friend is that other person with whom we can look at a tree and say, "Isn't that beautiful," or sit on the beach and silently watch the sun disappear under the horizon. With a friend we don't have to say or do something special. With a friend we can be still and know that God is there with both of us.

As a general remark, I would say we must move from the moral to the mystical life.
