"Mark the passages that go deep into my heart, that move me deeply, that make sense, that express something which is already within my experience."
Richard Rohr
"God is more a verb than a noun, more a process than a conclusion, more an experience than a dogma, more a personal relationship than an idea."
JRR Tolkien
"All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be the blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king."

"End? No the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The gray rain-curtain of this world rolls back and all turns to silver glass. And then you see it...white shores and the beyond. A far green country under a swift sunrise." Gandolf
Pat DeWitt-Thomas
"Fruitful lives come from well treated and well cultivated souls that are subject to God's will, have the interest and mind of Jesus, are filled with the Truth, energized by the Holy Spirit, interwoven through with love and mercy, and fully composted with obedience."
Madeleine L'Engle
"We do not draw people to Christ by loudly discrediting what they believe, by telling them how wrong they are and how right we are, but by showing them a light that is so lovely that they want with all their hearts to know the source of it."
A.W. Tozer
"Let us practice the fine art of making every work a priestly ministration. Let us believe that God is in all our simple deeds and learn to find Him there."
A.W. Tozer
"I want to live so fully in the Spirit that all my thoughts may be as sweet incense ascending to Thee and every act of my life may be an act of worship."
Augustine
"I was tossed by every wind, but you guided me as a helmsman steers a ship, by routes I did not know."
Augustine
"You have made us for yourself and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in you."
Sr. Maria Skobtsova
"There are two ways to live: you can walk on dry land with utter legitimacy and respectability, measuring, weighing, and planning ahead. Or you can walk on the waters, and then it becomes impossible to measure or plan ahead because the only thing necessary is to believe at every moment. An instant of doubt, and you start to sink."
Evelyn Underhill
"God is always coming to you in the Sacrament of the Present Moment. Meet and receive Him there with gratitude in that sacrament, however unexpected its outward form may be."
