Quotes by Richard R. Gaillardetz  (?)

“If God is love, if God is gift given eternally, then our participation in the life of God happens not by escaping our everyday world, but by entering more deeply into the life of love and that paradoxical logic of gift in that we receive most richly only when we make "gifting" others a way of life.”
Richard R. Gaillardetz, Daring Promise: A Spirituality of Christ: A Spirituality of Christian Marriage

“The vitality of a human life can be measured by the intensity of one's desire. We know we are truly alive when we experience a drive for the "more" life. Human desire or longing is the source of our spiritual energy.”
Richard R. Gaillardetz, Daring Promise: A Spirituality of Christ: A Spirituality of Christian Marriage

“But there is a danger that we might begin to think of the encounter with God as if it were something radically distinct from our ordinary activities. In fact, we Catholics believe that in Jesus Christ, God rendered the whole of human existence holy. Because of Jesus we should expect to find the sacred not merely juxtaposed to our ordinary lives on a separate, supernatural plane, but in the midst of our ordinary human activities.”
Richard R. Gaillardetz, Making the Connections: A Spirituality for Catechists
