We change the world not by what we say or do but as a consequence of what we have become.
The truth of one's Self can be discovered in everyday life. To live with care and kindness is all that is necessary. The rest reveals itself in due time. The commonplace and God are not distinct.

In all things may we be grateful, our hearts open to joy. O Blessed one, speak to us within our hearts; let your Voice be heard. As we listen and heed your Word, joy will be our song of thanks. As you lead us into the Silence, we become friends with solitude; With trust in You, our lives become simple, with assurance and peace leaving no room for fear. All that we have is gift from You, O Beloved, all that we are is Yours as well. May we come to see that all we give to others, we give to ourselves and You.
