Top Highlights
“Ponder for a moment the first three words of Jesus’ response to the centurion’s request: ‘I will come …’ Every time we call out to him, our loving God says the same thing: ‘I will come.’” (Page 13)
“May the Eucharist be the icon through which I see the needs and hungers of others.” (Page 17)
“The immediacy of his prayer tells us that Jesus is not ashamed to show his intimate relationship with God to those who are gathered there. How would we ever know the level of intimacy in the Trinity if Jesus had not allowed us to see this moment of prayer? In his own profoundly simple manner, Jesus allows us to glimpse what joy and happiness are. They are by-products of a life lived in communion with God.” (Pages 14–15)
“For you do not know on which day your Lord will come.’ Your Lord. You are my Lord” (Page 7)
“The Incarnation was the greatest event in human history. And at the time, no one but Mary knew it had even happened.” (Page 71)
