Imagine how happy, how holy, life would be if we ever really learn to see beauty.

In community we work out our connectedness to God, to one another and to ourselves...In human relationships I learn that theory is no substitute for love. It is easy to talk about the love of GOD; it is another thing to practice it

The liturgical year is the year that sets out to attune the life of the Christian to the life of Jesus, the Christ.

Spirituality without a prayer life is no spirituality at all, and it will not last beyond the first defeats. Prayer is an opening of the self so that the Word of God can break in and make us new. Prayer unmasks. Prayer converts. Prayer impels. Prayer sustains us on the way. Pray for the grace it will take to continue what you would like to quit.

We are each called to go through life reclaiming the planet an inch at a time until the Garden of Eden grows green again.

Hope grows in us, despite our moments of darkness, regardless of our regular bouts of depression.
