Without light the eye does not know its function to see. All is dark. Without sound, the ear does not know its purpose, to listen. So it is with the soul or spirit within us. Without prayer, it does not know its function and without prayer, we do not know we have any inner life. And we will see and hear better if we have some spiritual practice. We will see what is real and hear what is real instead of seeing only what we want and hearing only what we want. The narrow world is always for the self-centered and fearful.
The homilies and musings of a Paulist Priest.

I sincerely hope your mission thrives. The Church these days seems overly intent on preaching politics and battering its members with ultimatums and threats instead of focusing on the messages of love, forgiveness and daily sacrifice that convert followers from the inside out and are therefore more effective in the long run!
