“Our wounds…we call them nowdays our ‘issues.’ They love to emerge in our early adulthood. And it can feel like you’re getting the hell beaten out of you. This is the beginning of your spiritual training.”

“Divine love meets human failure immediately, without mediation.”

“Sins are vehicles through which grace reaches us.”
