Spiritual Quotes

The prayer of the faithful is, "Lord, show me my delusion." The prayer of the faithless is, "Lord, give me what I want."  It is the faithless that become extremists, not the faithful.

Why did Mary go to the desert the most inhospitable place in the whole world? For one reason: she decided it was time to stop running from her pain, to face it, and be healed.
