Patience asks us to live the moment to the fullest, to be completely present to the moment, to taste the here and now, to be where we are.

The question is not: How many people take you seriously? How much are you going to accomplish? Can you show some results? but: Are you in love with Jesus?

I feel strongly that the God we meet in solitude is always the God who calls us to community.

Each individual human being can claim the Spirit of Jesus as the guiding spirit of his or her life. In that Spirit we can speak and act freely and confidently with the knowledge that the same Spirit that inspired Jesus is inspiring us.

Friends share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand.

By prayer, community is created as well as expressed.

Compassion can never coexist with judgement because judgement creates the distance, the distinction, which prevents us from really being with the other.
