There is a huge silence inside each of us that beckons us into itself, and the recovery of our own silence can begin to teach us the language of heaven.

God is at his greatest when I am at my least.

Compassion is where peace and justice kiss

People should think less about what they ought to do and more about what they ought to be. If only their being were good, their works would shine forth brightly. Do not imagine that you can ground your salvation upon actions; it must rest on what you are.

I will be silent and will hear what God will say in me...If God wishes to speak to me, let him enter. I will not go out.

The less you feel and the more firmly you believe, the more praiseworthy is your faith and the more it will be esteemed and appreciated; for real faith is much more than a mere opinion of man. In it we have true knowledge: in truth, we lack nothing save true faith.

All that God asks you most pressingly is to go out of yourself … and let God be God in you
