My personal attitude is this: I will stand for revival, unity and prayer; I will labor to restore healing and reconciliation between God's people.

My prayer today is to not be negative about anything for one day. It is so easy to be disappointed, critical, cynical. Nothing is easier than to be a negative person.

Hope means no matter how bleak, all things can and do change in the blink of an eye.

Mystics knew how to channel grace through prayer and they knew the power of that. They knew how to receive guidance through reflection and contemplation; they knew how to share the gift of illumination with each other. These are great gifts of life and profound grace that we are capable of providing for each other and the world. This is what it means to be a mystic without a monastery.
