Compassion is where peace and justice kiss.
Every creature is a word of God.
The most important hour is always the present. The most significant person is precisely the one sitting across from you right now. The most necessary work is always love.
For the person who has learned to let go and let be, nothing can ever get in the way again.
God is at home. We are in the far country.
Do exactly what you would do if you felt most secure.
It is in the darkness that one finds the light.
God is not found in the soul by adding anything but by a process of subtraction.
What we plant in the soil of contemplation, we shall reap in the harvest of action.
The price of inaction is far greater than the cost of making a mistake.
God is at home, it’s we who have gone out for a walk.
The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me; my eye and God’s eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing, one love.
People who dwell in God dwell in the eternal now.
He who would be serene and pure needs but one thing, detachment.
What good is it to me that Mary gave birth to the son of God fourteen hundred years ago, and I do not also give birth to the Son of God in my time and in my culture? We are all meant to be mothers of God. God is always needing to be born.
Your own efforts “did not bring it to pass,” only God-but rejoice if God found a use for your efforts in His work.
There is no stopping place in this life – nor is there ever one for any person, no matter how far along the way one’s gone.
The soul is created in a place between Time and Eternity: with its highest powers it touches Eternity, with its lower Time.
To the extent that you eliminate ego from your activities, God comes into them – but no more and no less. Begin with that, and let it cost you your uttermost. In this way, and no other, is true peace to be found.
The soul does not grow by addition but by subtraction.
