Christian life is not a life divided between times for action and times for contemplation. No. Real social action is a way of contemplation, and real contemplation is the core of social action.

Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day.

Indeed, when God's glory dwells in me, there is nothing too far away, nothing too painful, nothing too strange or too familiar that it cannot contain and renew by its touch. Every time I recognize the glory of God in me and give it space to manifest itself to me, all that is human can be brought there and nothing will be the same again.

Often we come home from a sharing session with a feeling that something precious has been taken away from us or that holy ground has been trodden upon.

When we give generously, with an abundance mentality, what we give away will multiply.

It's an incredible mystery of God's love that the more you know how deeply you are loved, the more you will see how deeply your sisters and your brothers in the human family are loved.

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