"Prayer is a leap into the dark. It is casting oneself into an abyss; it is 'running naked into the sea' as Ruysbroeck
puts it. We let ourselves drop into the fast-flowing current of the
Holy Spirit, without knowing or caring where it will take us. Prayer is
the greatest of all adventures; it is a journey or voyage; a quest,
fascinating and unpredictable, because it leads us into the supreme
mystery which is the mystery of God. In prayer we lose all and find all.
It is both the journey, food for the journey, and the journey's end."
(The Path of Life, pages 101-2)

We reach out to the poorest of poor with the love of Christ to bring healing to the brokenhearted.
