There is no life without death, there is no death without life. We call it the paschal or Passover mystery.

Power cannot, in itself, be bad. It simply needs to be realigned and redefined as something larger than domination or force.

I would almost describe spirituality as a concern for our being, our inner motivation and attitude, our real inner Source, as opposed to any primary concern for our doing.

God takes away the shame we have by giving us back to ourselves—by giving us God! It doesn’t get any better than that.

God is not afraid of mistakes, it seems. God knows that God can turn everything around—into good.

Experience the revelation of God in ordinary and daily life. Recall and reflect on moments of encountering God’s presence in everyday experiences.

The genius of the biblical revelation is that it doesn’t just give us the conclusions; it gives us both the process of getting there and the inner and outer authority to trust that process.
