"Divine freedom is the capacity to be fully who we already are, to develop our inherent and true nature in God, as much as possible-really wanting to do what we know we have to do. Only God can create that freedom inside of us."

Richard Rohr

"The true self IS a prayer.  This is why Paul can say, "pray always" (Ephesians 6:18).  We pray always whenever we live in conscious union with God.  Then every action is a prayer no matter how secular, mundane, or ordinary it might appear.  I would more admire someone cleaning the house in loving union than a priest saying Mass outside of union."

Richard Rohr

"Christianity is a lifestyle; a way of being in the world that is simple, non-violent, shared, inclusive, and loving."

Mother Teresa

"God is the friend of silence.  Trees, flowers, grass grow in silence.  See the stars, moon, and sun, how they move in silence."
