“When you get up and realise that you are not going to be able to get through the day unless you experience him that day, unless you go to him and seek him in prayer, seeks his presence… you realise that he is there, communion with him is really available… Cathy and I our greatest fear is that if I get a really good diagnosis, and response to the treatment and I do really well, and I’m able to live for a number of more years. We never want to go back to where we were Spiritually before the Cancer, because in spite of all the things I’ve preached… most of us the reality is we say we need to depend on God but actually we think we’ve got it sorted. We feel like we’ve got everything under control because we’ve thought this out and we’ve got savings and we’ve got these people and we’re basically under control. We know technically that we are mortal, technically that God is in charge of everything, but experientially we don’t believe it until life gets beyond our ability to control it. And when that happens and you turn to God you realise that he really is there, he is enough, and I’m happier than I’ve ever been - I enjoy the things around me in a way I have never before, I see them as gifts of God. And I enjoy my prayer life more than I ever have. We also cry every day, about me having cancer. I am more ready to die than Cathy is to live without me. So she has her own sorrows but we never want to go back to the way we were before. My fear isn’t in dying, my fear is in leaving her behind, and that’s her fear too, its a terrible fear.”

- Tim Keller Speaking to Nicky Gumbel, Nov 2020

“We tend to stay away from mourning and dancing. Too afraid to cry, too shy to dance... we become narrow-minded complainers, avoiding pain and also true human joy... While we live in a world subject to the evil one, we belong to God. Let us mourn, and let us dance.”

- HenriNouwen

Pedro Arrupe was a missionary to Japan when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. In 1965 he was elected head of the Jesuit Order and in later life he endured a series of debilitating strokes. Through so many trials, he came to trust the Lord in a profound way as his 'stronghold in times of trouble.'

Finding himself severely disabled he confided to his journal, 'More than ever I find myself in the hands of God. This is what I have wanted all my life, from my youth. But now there is a difference. The initiative is entirely with God. lt is indeed a profound spiritual experience to know and feel myself to be totally in God's hands.'
