“When we say to people, 'I will pray for you,' we make a very important commitment. The sad thing is that this remark often remains nothing but a well-meant expression of concern. But when we learn to descend with our mind into our heart, then all those who have become part of our lives are led into the healing presence of God and touched by him in the center of our being. We are speaking here about a mystery for which words are inadequate. It is the mystery that the heart, which is the center of our being, is transformed by God into his own heart, a heart large enough to embrace the entire universe. Through prayer we can carry in our heart all human pain and sorrow, all conflicts and agonies, all torture and war, all hunger, loneliness, and misery, not because of some great psychological or emotional capacity, but because God's heart has become one with ours.”

“Comment oublier le monde? Peut-on chercher le bonheur quand tout parle de destruction? Le monde est jaloux, il vient vous prendre, il vient vous retrouver là où vous êtes, au fond d'un ravin, il fait entendre sa rumeur de peur et de haine, il mêle sa violence à tout ce qui vous entoure, il transforme la lumière, la mer, le vent, même les cris des oiseaux. Le monde est dans votre coeur alors, sa douleur vous réveille de votre rêve et vous découvrez que la terre même où vous avez voulu créer votre royaume vous expulse et vous jette à la mer.”
