Grace saves us from life without God-even more it empowers us for life with God.

Spiritual direction is an interpersonal relationship in which we learn how to grow, live, and love in the spiritual life.

We who have turned our lives over to Christ need to know how very much he longs to eat with us, to commune with us. He desires a perpetual Eucharistic feast in the inner sanctuary of the heart.

Humility, as we all know, is one of those virtues that is never gained by seeking it. The more we pursue it the more distant it becomes. To think we have it is sure evidence that we don't.

We have real difficulty here because everyone thinks of changing the world, but where, oh where, are those who think of changing themselves? People may genuinely want to be good, but seldom are they prepared to do what it takes to produce the inward life of goodness that can form the soul. Personal formation into the likeness of Christ is arduous and lifelong.

The desperate need today is not for a greater number of intelligent people, or gifted people, but for deep people.

Worship is our response to the overtures of love from the heart of the Father.
