Now I wonder whether I have sufficiently realized that during all this time God has been trying to find me, to know me, and to love me. The question is not 'How am I to find God?' but 'How am I to let myself be found by him?' The question is not 'How am I to love God?' but 'How am I to let myself be loved by God?'

God's Kingdom is a place of abundance where every generous act overflows its original bounds and becomes part of the unbounded grace of God at work in the world.

The spiritual life is a reaching out to our innermost self, to our fellow human and to our God.

Once you are in communion with God, you have the eyes to see and the ears to hear other people in whom God has also found a dwelling place.

Where true inner freedom is, there is God. And where God is, there we want to be.

That's the temptation of the devil: "Turn stones into bread! Be relevant!"

Someday I would love to write about Vincent van Gogh - his paintings and letters continue to inspire me very much. But it remains hard to find the time and inner rest to write.
