You have the line, "Come home, son," but you can't play that line by going out and being a mother; you can't be a noun. But you can play to smother your son; you can play to grovel to your son.

If you don't have a vivid verb to describe what you're doing, you're probably going to be a pretty bad actress.

Nhat HanhThe Passion of Christ was an experience which included in itself every experience except sin, of every member of the human race. If one may say this with reverence, the fourteen incidents of the Stations of the Cross show not only the suffering but the Psychology of Christ.

He shows us, step by step, how that plan of love can be carried out by men, women, and children today, both alone in the loneliness of their individual lives and together in communion with one another.

So all great saints and prophets have expressed it, and have carried it out in their lives. How can great spirituality come without renunciation?
