Ideas in Passing from Joan Chittister
Encounter the deepest longings of your soul
through the works of Sister Joan Chittister.

Sister Joan doesn't mince words when it
comes to
  • the naked truth of a spirituality that changes
    hearts
  • the gospel imperative to love one's neighbor--
    all one's neighbors
  • the Benedictine ideal of human community
    that sees Christ in the stranger
Join thousands of people whose lives have
been changed.
THE FRIENDSHIP FACTOR
Friendship is the linking of spirits. It is a spiritual act, not a
social one. It is the finding of the remainder of the self. It is
knowing a person before you meet her. It might be that we not
so much find a friend but that friendship, the deathless search
of the soul for itself, finds us. Then the memory of Mary
Magdalene becomes clear, becomes the bellwether of the real
relationship.
