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.

This sounds very simple and maybe even trite, but very few people know that they are loved without condition or limits.

To live in the present, we must deeply believe that what is most important is in the here and now.

Prayer is first of all listening to God. It's openness. God is always speaking; he's always doing something.

It is freeing to become aware that we do not have to be victims of our past and can learn new ways of responding. Forgiveness is love practiced among people who love poorly. It sets us free without wanting anything in return.

The dance of life finds its beginnings in grief......Here a completely new way of living is revealed. It is the way in which pain can be embraced, not out of a desire to suffer, but in the knowledge that something new will be born in the pain.

One way to express the spiritual crisis of our time is to say that most of us have an address but cannot be found there.
