The only time I can get an even keel is if I'm either on retreat or spending the day alone, in a meditative, prayerful sort of way.(NEVER HAPPENS!) So we just go along in this secular world, following Christ, searching for the Spirit to lead us, and with me, pray to the Virgin Mary.

I (we, maybe), strive to make our spiritual life as hunky-dory as possible, doing all our prayers right and at the correct time, yet sometimes feeling as if not much has happened. Sometimes we need to really FEEL the darkness, whether it be day or night. Sometimes the darkness is not darkness at all but the Spirit probing, taking away our bit of complacency with a reminder to us just where our priorities lie.kamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08248881807382198330noreply@blogger.com
