Solitude is the human condition, the universal vocation to be human. It is the
willingness, with Love indwelling, to go to the heart of pain to find new life and share it with the world even though you may be separated from it physically. From this
commitment to be focused through the narrow gate of solitude, self-emptying love is outpoured, and the heart of the community, the heart of pain, is transformed into the heart of joy.
I shall pray to seek You with my whole heart ... I dwell in Your Presence even when my thoughts becfome devious. It is too much to bear alone when my eyes turn from You, You are in my soul to stay, my home is in Your Presence.
