Only God can say what this new spirit gradually forming within you will be. Give God the benefit of believing that God’s hand is leading you and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself in suspense and incomplete.

Teilhard De Chardin, SJ

It is not so much what we do but what we are that allows God to live in the world. When the presence of God emerges from our inmost being into our faculties, whether we walk down the street or drink a cup of soup, divine life is pouring into the world.

Father Thomas Keating

With our cell phones and PDAs, we are now able to be in touch with anyone and everyone at any time. In the process, we run the risk of never being in touch with ourselves.

What about not connecting with anyone in our “in between” moments? What about realizing that there are acutally no in between moments at all? What about being in touch with who is on this end of the line? What about calling ourselves up for a change and checking in, seeing what we are up to?
