It is precisely in times of spiritual dryness that we must hold on to our spiritual discipline so that we can grow into new intimacy with God.

The main question is not, how can we hide our wounds...but how can we put our woundedness in service to others.

The great #‎ conversion called for by Jesus is to move from belonging to the world to belonging to God.

Our humanity comes to its fullest bloom in giving. We become beautiful people when we give whatever we can give: a smile, a handshake, a kiss, an embrace, a word of love, a present, a part of our life...all of our life.

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