If you meet God in solitude, you discover the God you meet is the God who embraces all people Picture Quote #1

Solitude is an essential element for the spiritual health of a child. If we only stimulate our children - keep them busy with endless stories with no space to be alone - that’s not good Picture Quote #1

Obviously a child can never conceive solitude if his parents aren’t living it somewhere themselves. I don’t mean that to be alone you have to get down on your knees for an hour in a yoga posture Picture Quote #1

Reading with children is an enormous gift to them. It’s a great honor to invite children to read with adults Picture Quote #1

Waiting time is not wasting time. Waiting patiently in expectation is the foundation of the spiritual life Picture Quote #1

My hope is that the description of God’s love in my life will give you the freedom and the courage to discover... God’s love in yours Picture Quote #1

Prayer is first of all listening to God. It’s openness. God is always speaking; he’s always doing something. Prayer is to enter into that activity... Convert your thoughts into prayer. As we are involved in unceasing thinking, so we are called to unceasing prayer. The difference is not that prayer is thinking about other things, but that prayer is thinking in dialogue,... a conversation with God Picture Quote #1

God is a God of the present. God is always in the moment, be that moment hard or easy, joyful and painful Picture Quote #1

Ministry is the least important thing. You cannot not minister if you are in communion with God and live in community Picture Quote #1
