To Abstain Completely From All

Faith Is Not The Clinging To A Shrine But An Endless Pilgrimage Of The Heart. Audacious Longing, Burning Songs, Daring Thoughts, An Impulse Overwhelming The Heart, Usurping The Mind--these Are All A Drive Towards Serving Him Who Rings Our Hearts Like A Bell. It Is As If He Were Waiting To Enter Our Empty, Perishing Lives.

Faith Opens Our Hearts For The Entrance Of The Holy. It Is Almost As Though God Were Thinking For Us.

There Is A Built-in Sense Of Indebtedness In The Consciousness Of Man, An Awareness Of Owing Gratitude, Or Being Caled Upon At Certain Moments To Reciprocate, To Answer, To Live In A Way Which Is Compatible With The Grandeur And Mystery Of Living.

We Are Closer To God When We Are Asking Questions Than When We Think We Have The Answers.

Self-respect Is The Root Of Discipline
