“Fortunate is the man who is broken in pieces and offered to others, who is poured out and given to others to drink. When his time of trial comes, he will not be afraid. He will have nothing to fear. He will already have understood that, in the celebration of love, by grace man is broken and not divided, eaten and never consumed. By grace he has become Christ, and so his life gives food and drink to his brother. That is to say, he nourishes the other's very existence and makes it grow.”

“The Author of life has shattered the bonds of purely mechanical existence. You are an organic part of a theanthropic mystery.
You have a specific task, a small, minute task, which makes you a partaker in the whole. The mystery of life is summed up and worked out in your being, in your character. You are an image of God. You are of value not for what you have but for what you are; and you are a brother of the Son.
Thus we all enter into the feast of the firstborn. God, who is above all, may be recognized in the very texture of your person, in the structure of your being. You see Him dwelling within you. And you discern traces of Him in your insatiable thirst for life and in your love. The struggle to reach Him is the very vision of His face. It is the fundamental principle of your being.”

“I do not wish, I do not desire to live long. I wish to live with You. It is You who are long life, vital and without end,
Come and do Your will in me.
Come when You wish and as You see fit.
Come like a breeze, like a blessing, if You think it right.
Come like a thunderbolt to test me and burn up my being, if You think that is how it should be.
I know that what will follow Your visitation, in whatever way You come, will be what I desire most deeply and cannot express, and what I cannot find anywhere outside You. That is why it is You that I seek and await.
I am disenchanted with myself. Only You remain. And I come to You, the healer, the light and the sanctification of souls and bodies. I come, sick as I am, and abandon to You my whole life and hope.”
