To forgive another from the heart is an act of liberation. We set that person free from the negative bonds that exist between us. As long as we do not forgive we pull them with us, or worse, as a heavy load. The great temptation is to cling in anger to our enemies & then define ourselves as being offended & wounded by them. Forgiveness, therefore, liberates not only the other but also ourselves. It is the way to the freedom of the children of God.

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

Forgiveness indeed heals memories

Solitude, community, and ministry are certainly not just for celibates! Celibates also have a hard time keeping up.

Distance never seperates two hearts that really care, for our memories span the miles and in seconds we are there. But whenever I start feeling sad cuz I miss you I remind myself how lucky I am to have someone so special to miss.

Friendship has always belonged to the core of my spiritual journey.

Precisely where I feel my poverty is where I discover God's blessing.
