The highest things, the things that really matter, we cannot achieve on our own; we have to accept them as gifts and enter in to the dynamic of the gift, so to speak.

Love is the very process of passing over, of transformation, of stepping outside the limitations of fallen humanity - in which we are all separated from one another and ultimately impenetrable to one another - into an infinite otherness.

Friends, do not be afraid of silence or stillness. Listen to God. Adore Him in the Eucharist.

The world needs transparent lives, clear souls, pure minds that refuse to be perceived as mere objects of pleasure.

In the pierced heart of the Crucified, God's own heart is opened up - here we see who God is and what he is like. Heaven is no longer locked up. God has stepped out of his hiddenness.

Do not be afraid to say “yes” to Jesus, to find your joy in doing his will...

Following Jesus in faith is to walk with him in the communion of the Church. You cannot follow Jesus alone.
