ideas people stronger
People have no idea what one saint can do: for sanctity is stronger than the whole of hell.
wisdom answers creation
In our creation, God asked a question and in our truly living; God answers the question.
light events hell
To consider persons and events and situations only in the light of their effect upon myself is to live on the doorstep of hell.
inspiring life-changing moon
What can we gain by sailing to the moon if we are not able to cross the abyss that separates us from ourselves? This is the most important of all voyages of discovery, and without it, all the rest are not only useless, but disastrous.
integrity artist haste
Hurry ruins saints as well as artists. They want quick success, and they are in such a hurry to get it that they cannot take time to be true to themselves. And when the madness is upon them, they argue that their very haste is a species of integrity.
focus more-time
Take more time, cover less ground.
destiny thinking our-destiny
Our destiny is to live out what we think, because unless we live what we know, we do not even know it.
way mercy contradiction
The very contradictions in my life are in some ways signs of God's mercy to me.
ambition ambitious ends
When ambition ends, happiness begins.
slow-down tempo humans
We must slow down to a human tempo and we’ll begin to have time to listen.
mean home offering
Life consists in learning to live on one's own, spontaneous, freewheeling: to do this one must recognize what is one's own-be familiar and at home with oneself. This means basically learning who one is, and learning what one has to offer to the contemporary world, and then learning how to make that offering valid.
recovery creative instinct
There is in us an instinct for newness, for renewal, for a liberation of creative power. We seek to awaken in ourselves a force which really changes our lives from within. And yet the same instinct tells us that this change is a recovery of that which is deepest, most original, most personal in ourselves. To be born again is not to become somebody else, but to become ourselves.
prayer silence world
When I am liberated by silence, when I am no longer involved in the measurement of life, but in the living of it, I can discover a form of prayer in which there is effectively no distraction. My whole life becomes a prayer. My whole silence is full of prayer. The world of silence in which I am immersed contributes to my prayer.
reality light order
In order to find God in ourselves, we must stop looking at ourselves, stop checking and verifying ourselves in the mirror of our own futility, and be content to be in Him and to do whatever He wills, according to our limitations, judging our acts not in the light of our own illusions, but in the light of His reality which is all around us in the things and people we live with.
