| "The more we train ourselves to spend time with God and him alone, the more we will discover that God is with us at all times and in all places. Then we will be able to recognize him even in the midst of a busy and active life."
"Day and night, during work and dring play, in joy and in sorrow, God's Spirit is actively present in us. Our task is to allow that presence to become real for us in allwe do, say, or think." Making All Things New "In true community we are windows constantly offering each other new views on the mystery of God's presence in our lives." Making All Things New "...there is a space within us where God dwells and where we are invited to dwell with God...the closer we come to God, the closer we come to all our brothers and sisters in the human family. God is not a private God. The God who dwells in our inner sanctuary is also the God who dwells in the inner sanctuary of each human being." Here and Now "...God's Spirit is the Spirit of love longing to guide us to the place where the deepest desires of our heart can be fulfilled." Here and Now "Our life is a short opportunity to say 'yes' to God's love." Here and Now |
