We are obliged to love one another. We are not strictly bound to "like" one another.
The gift of love is the gift of the power and capacity to love, and therefore, to give love with full effect is also to receive it. So love can only be kept by being given away, and it can only be given perfectly when it is also received.
We become contemplatives when God discovers Himself in us.
It might be good to open our eyes and see.
Violence is not completely fatal until it ceases to disturb us.
There is in all visible things an invisible fecundity, a dimmed light, a meek namelessness, a hidden wholeness.
