Of all spiritual disciplines prayer is the most central because it ushers us into perpetual communion with the Father.

Jesus Christ and all the writers of the New Testament call us to break free of mammon lust and live in joyous trust...They point us toward a way of living in which everything we have we receive as a gift, and everything we have is cared for by God, and everything we have is available to others when it is right and good. This reality frames the heart of Christian simplicity. It is the means of liberation and power to do what is right and to overcome the forces of fear and avarice.

God has given us the Disciplines of the spiritual life as a means of receiving his grace. The Disciplines allow us to place ourselves before God so that he can transform us.

It is an occupational hazard of devout folk to become stuffy bores. This should not be. Of all people, we should be the most free, alive, interesting.

The inner attitude of the heart is far more crucial than the mechanics for coming into the reality of the spiritual life.

Prayer is - a means of uniting us unto Himself.

Each activity of daily life in which we stretch ourselves on behalf of others is a prayer in action.
