Fasting reminds us that we are sustained by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God (Matt. 4:4). Food does not sustain us; God sustains us.

Prayer is - loving conversation with the One who has invited us into His embrace.

Four times a year withdraw for three to four hours for the purpose of reorienting your life goals

Prayer is - listening for the still small voice of God. Listening with the "ear of our hearts."

Worship is our response to the overtures of love from the heart of the Father. Its central reality is found 'in spirit and truth.' It is kindled within us only when the Spirit of God touches our human spirit.

Loneliness is inner emptiness. Solitude is inner fulfillment.

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.
