Quotes to Inspire Your Spiritual Growth! God is part of the human adventure. Through the Incarnation, God manifests his identification with the human condition just as it is. Our attitude toward God has to be governed by that revelation. Thomas Keating, Intimacy with God. One finds God because one is already found by God. Anything we would find on our own would not be GOD. Catherine M. LaGugna Prayer and love are learned in the hour when prayer has become impossible and your heart has turned to stone. Thomas Merton Conversion is a process; it is not a goal, not a product we consume. Christian conversion is, in fact, incarnational; it is worked out by each individual within the community of faith. Pope John Paul II, Address in Jerusalem, March 2000 God is present not just in serenity, not just in spiritual achievement; God is also present in failure and the utmost suffering, and he manifests himself equally in each expression. Jesus' passion and death is the revelation of the heart of God. Thomas Keating, Awakenings. Theology really happens in relations between people. Because we love, God is present. Thomas Merton. The myth of the incarnation declares that it is the venture of becoming fully human which is the greatest act of creation in which we can engage. The Christian myth centers not on identification with a God who journeys across the heavens, but on a God who is finally to be found nowhere else than in one's own journey. Tad Guzie, The Book of Sacramental Basics. |
