In spiritual direction there is absolutely no domination or control.

Prayer is simply saying "thank you, bless you, praise you."

Silence is one of the deepest Disciplines of the Spirit, simply because it puts the stopper on all self-justificat ion

God's heart is the most sensitive and tender of all. No act goes unnoticed, no matter how insignificant or small.

Simplicity is the only thing that sufficiently reorients our lives so that possessions can be genuinely enjoyed without destroying us.

If we truly love people, we will desire for them far more than it is within our power to give them, and this leads us to prayer.

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.
