Inward solitude has outward manifestations. There is the freedom to be alone, not in order to be away from people but in order to hear the divine Whisper better.

We must understand the connection between inner solitude and inner silence; they are inseparable. All the masters of the interior life speak of the two in the same breath.

It is Stoicism that demands a closed universe, not the Bible.

Let's discipline ourselves so that our words are few and full.

It is in the everyday and the commonplace that we learn patience, acceptance, and contentment.

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.
