For God beholds with his merciful eyes not what you are, nor what you have been - but what you would be. In an age when yesterday is not soon enough and destinations are to be reached as quickly and painlessly as possible, what delight there is in undertaking a patient, mindful journey of discovery.
Spiritual formation is just such a journey.
The formation of the spirit begins with an embrace of our holy beginnings. We are children of God's great love. God's forming presence is certain. Our only choice is to hinder or support it. Spiritual formation is a prayerful process of nurturing a deeper, more conscious relationship with God.
