But great and good as these things were, they paled beside his love for Jesus Christ.

“We become either agents of God’s healing and liberating grace, or carriers of the sickness of the world.”
M. Robert Mulholland, Invitation to a Journey: A Road Map for Spiritual Formation

“It is possible for the practice of the classical disciplines itself to become a subtle form of works righteousness in which we come to think that by our faithful exercise of the disciplines we are transforming ourselves into the image of Christ.”
M. Robert Mulholland, Invitation to a Journey: A Road Map for Spiritual Formation

“Our relationships with others are not only the testing grounds of our spiritual life but also the places where our growth toward wholeness in Christ happens. There is a temptation to think that our spiritual growth takes place in the privacy of our personal relationship with God and then, once it is sufficiently developed, we can export it into our relationships with others and “be Christian” with them. But holistic spirituality, the process of being formed in the image of Christ, takes place in the midst of our relationships with others, not apart from them. We learn to be Christ’s for others by seeking to be yielded and obedient to God in the midst of our relationships.”
M. Robert Mulholland, Invitation to a Journey: A Road Map for Spiritual Formation

“Such empowerment is what Paul describes as the fruits of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control (Gal 5:22-23 RSV). These come not by our effort or by attempts to inculcate them in our actions, but are gifts that emerge as we release control of our lives and come to entrust ourselves to God.”
M. Robert Mulholland, Invitation to a Journey: A Road Map for Spiritual Formation

“Our cross is the point of our unlikeness to the image of Christ, where we must die to self in order to be raised by God into wholeness of life in the image of Christ right there at that point. So the process of being formed in the image of Christ takes place at the points of our unlikeness to Christ, and the first step is confrontation.”
