"Our desire for God should be the desire that should guide all other desires.."
"Spiritual disciplines are not the ways to eradicate all our desires but ways to order them so that they can serve one another and together serve God."
"To pray means... to think and live in the presence of God".
"Its God who initiates the Prayer in our Hearts"
"To live a Christian life means to live in the world without being of it."
"Solitude is not a station where we can recharge our batteries...instead it is a place of conversion, the place where the old self dies and the new one is born. The place where the emergence of the new man and the new woman...”
The task is to preserve in my solitude to stay in my cell until all my seductive visitors get tired of pounding on my door and leave me alone....
"Silence means rest, rest of body and mind in which we became available for God"
"Silence is like giving up control over our actions and thoughts, allowing something creative to happen not by us but to us."
"Alone we cannot face "the mystery of inequity" .Only Christ can over come the powers of evil.
Only in and through him can we survive the trails of our solitude."
