“Ultimately, the pace of God is the only pace that matters. As we have seen, it is not the pace which rushes or takes the easiest route. It is the pace which is needful for salvation and hope and promise. It is a human pace, and perhaps most of all the pace of the vulnerable, the bewildered, the lost and powerless; of those seeking to find the way.”

“He journeys slowly enough that others’ needs can be heard and heeded. Jesus walks alongside those in the greatest hardship, and he invites us too to get in step with holiness.”

“Whether we are naturally affectionate or not, I do think we are called to this radical openness and generosity in our own relationships. This radical way is the Way of Jesus. It is a way of gentleness and trust that reveals the character of God. It is passionate but not insistent. It is something we are invited to show towards ourselves as we seek to get to know God and ourselves better. Love is costly, but it is our vocation.”
