I see God in every human being. When I wash the leper's wounds I feel I am nursing the Lord himself. Is it not a beautiful experience?

If you have not the experience, ask. There is no shame in asking, but do not pretend you know when you don't.

Faith keeps the person who keeps the faith.

There is no key to happiness; the door is always open

If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

Silence came before creation, and the heavens were spread without a word

Seeking the face of God in everything, everyone, all the time, and his hand in every happening; This is what it means to be contemplative in the heart of the world. Seeing and adoring the presence of Jesus, especially in the lowly appearance of bread, and in the distressing disguise of the poor.
