“The true meaning of existence is disclosed in moments of living in the presence of God”

“If we hope to live not just from moment to moment, but in true consciousness of our existence, then our greatest need and most difficult achievement is to find meaning in our lives.”

“To live in this body and not know myself is like living in the presence of God and not knowing that he exist.”

“I am as sure as I live that nothing is so near to me as God. God is nearer to me than I am to myself; my existence depends on the nearness and the presence of God.”

“This means, in a way, that true light is dependent on the presence of other lights. Take the others away and darkness results. Yet the reverse is not true: take away darkness and there is only more darkness. Darkness can exist by itself. Light cannot.”

“It is not objective proof of God's existence that we want but, whether we use religious language for it or not, the experience of God's presence.”
