When I could no longer cling to my normal supports I discovered that true support and real safety lie far beyond the structures of our world.

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.

We may be little, insignificant servants in the eyes of a world motivated by efficiency, control and success. But when we realize that God has chosen us from all eternity, sent us into the world as the blessed ones, handed us over to suffering, can't we, then, also trust that our little lives will multiply themselves and be able to fulfill the needs of countless people?

To learn patience is not to rebel against every hardship.

When you recognize the festive and the still moments as moments of prayer, then you gradually realize that to pray is to live.

In God's eyes the most significant is often the most hidden.

By giving words to these intimate experiences I can make my life available to others.
