“We are watching as human beings are being encountered by God in unexpected ways, and we are waiting to discover how we might be able to join that drama by saying yes to God.”

“The church does not need better coffee; it needs deeper relationships, it needs the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, an abiding relationship with God. It needs resonance. In short, what the church really needs is ministry—to have our being taken into the being of God, to find ourselves abiding in the faithfulness of Jesus, who goes to the cross out of love for the world, to cultivate a union between the divine and human.”

“Ministry is God’s work; we only participate in it. And as God’s work, it can neither be forced nor be prevented with absolute certainty. The wheat will grow right alongside the weeds. So the church’s obsession with human activity and the exertion of energy toward development and maturity turns out to be a scam.”

“The knowledge of the cross brings a conflict of interest between God who has become man and man who wishes to become God.”

“But still – that is our vocation: to convert the hostis into a hospes, the enemy into a guest and to create the free and fearless space where brotherhood and sisterhood can be formed and fully experienced.”
