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.

Those who think that they have arrived, have lost their way. Those who think they have reached their goal, have missed it. Those who think they are saints, are demons.

The friend who cares makes it clear that whatever happens in the external world, being present to each other is what really matters. In fact, it matters more than pain, illness, or even death.

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.

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.

Forgiveness changes the way we remember.

Community is where humility and glory touch.
