The most courageous thing we will ever do is to bear humbly the mystery of our own reality.

People who’ve had any genuine spiritual experience always know that they don’t know. They are utterly humbled before mystery. They are in awe before the abyss of it all, in wonder at eternity and depth, and a Love, which is incomprehensible to the mind.

The great and merciful surprise is that we come to God, not by doing it right, but by doing it wrong.

Love is luring us forward...to the fullness of our own being

In the last years, I've been reading the Eastern fathers, the older mystical writings, a rich, deep, and truly traditional Christianity which most Western Christians know almost nothing about. It is very mystical and prayer centered Christianity, with a strong social conscience.
