“Do not let me hear
Of the wisdom of old men, but rather of their folly,
Their fear of fear and frenzy, their fear of possession,
Of belonging to another, or to others, or to God.
The only wisdom we can hope to acquire
Is the wisdom of humility: humility is endless.”
― Four Quartets

“In this chapter, we will consider ways to seek wisdom in prayer. An important first step is realizing that when we seek God’s wisdom, we are not seeking a complicated solution to a puzzle. We are seeking the Person of the Holy Spirit.”

“My Lord and my God, “hidden” in the Eucharist, I want to use the faith you’ve given me, the grace with which you’ve blessed me, and the love with which you’ve filled my own “little heart,” to “tear away the veil” and to realize, to truly believe, that with your help, I, too, can become the person — can become the saint — you’re calling me to be.”
