"Religion is not God, but only a gift of God to lead us back to God. When we make a god of religion we ironically miss God while obsessing about His gifts."

Richard Rohr

"Anything done halfheartedly will bore you. People do not tire from overwork nearly as much as from halfheartedness. Wholeheartedness requires that a person be fully present. And people who are present are most ready to experience the Presence."

Teresa of Avila

" For my own part, I confess my lack of humility, but their argements have never seemed to me good enough to lead me to accept what they say."

(This was my matra while I was in seminary.)
