God is a child who amuses himself,
going from laughing to crying for no reason,
each day reinventing the world to the chagrin
if hair-splitters, pedants, and preachers,
who try to teach God his job as Creator.
Some people think that prayer just means asking for things, and
if they fail to receive exactly what they asked for,
they think the whole thing is a fraud.
"I want to know how God created this world.
I am not interested in this or that phenomenon,
in the spectrum of this or that element.
I want to know His thoughts; the rest are details."
"We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and
restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees,
flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun,
how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls."
The fact that astronomies change while the stars
abide is a true analogy of every realm of human life and thought,
religion not least of all.
No existent theology can be a final formulation of spiritual truth.
I could not say I believe. I know!
I have had the experience of being gripped
by something that is stronger than myself,
something that people call God.
To St. Paul, stripes, stones, shipwrecks, and
thorns in the flesh were religious experiences; to Judas Iscariot,
the daily companionship of Jesus of Nazareth was not.
