If you meet God in solitude, you discover the God you meet is the God who embraces all people.

Joy and laughter are the gifts of living in the presence of God and trusting that tomorrow is not worth worrying about.

Somewhere we know that without silence, words lose their meaning.

Community always calls us back to solitude, and solitude always calls us to community. Community and solitude, both, are essential elements of ministry and witnessing.

We need to be angels for each other, to give each other strength and consolation. Because only when we fully realize that the cup of life is not only a cup of sorrow but also a cup of joy will we be able to drink it.

Without solitude it is virtually impossible to live a spiritual life. ...We do not take the spiritual life seriously if we do not set aside some time to be with God and listen to him.

When you have loved deeply, that love can grow even stronger after the death of the person you love. That is the core message of Jesus.
