Real prayer is union with God.
Give love to your children, to a wife or husband, to a next-door neighbour.
Do not worry about your career. Concern yourself with your vocation, and that is to be lovers of Jesus.
Even when the urgent is good, the good can keep you from your best, keep you from your unique contribution, if you let it.
God is never late, but rarely early.
None of us, including me, ever do great things. But we can all do small things, with great love, and together we can do something wonderful.
