People who think they can control spirit are making a fundamental mistake. We do not control the spirit. That spirit challenges us to go places and do things we would otherwise avoid." "Genuine spirituality," as writer Eugene Kennedy has pointed out, "makes demands on us, challenges us to overcome selfishness, to love from the depths of ourselves so that we may establish community with others despite our sinful human condition."
