He who believes himself to be far advanced in the spiritual life has not even made a good beginning.

Just as there are no graduates of our program, there are none who have completed the spiritual course. We are all teachers and students of one another. God frequently speaks to us through other people. To grow, we must be alert to the spiritual messages waiting for us in each person we encounter.
To believe we don't need to grow anymore spiritually is a sure sign that we have more learning to do. It's kind of like boasting about how humble we are. It's one thing to take comfort from our faith; it's another to believe we have arrived.
I will come to the end of my spiritual journey each night, and begin it all over again each morning.
