“Love must act as light must shine and fire must burn.”
- Fr. James Huntington, OHC

"It’s the Holy spirit that drives our desire to be closer to God. It’s the Spirit that yearns for us to have a more contemplative and authentic spiritual life. You know that feeling when you hear a beautiful piece of music, or you are inspired by a good movie, or beholding a glorious sunset? That’s the Spirit. Or how about that voice in your head that says it’s wrong to walk past a homeless person or ignore the poor? That’s the Holy Spirit at work on your conscience."

                                                                                    Brother Dennis

"A God that would favor one one person, one nation, or one religion over another would be a very small God."

VOICES FROM INSIDE

"I can't wait to hear about your next book and read more of your spiritual essays. The one on UNITIVE CONSCIOUSNESS was awesome! You challenge and encourage me in continuing my meditation practice. I agree that the Kingdom of Heaven is within us."                                                        Donna A. CCWF
