I think of myself as a “dawn” person. I am not living in darkness. I do have a spiritual practice. But I am not fully in the light. I can see it coming and my practice is to strive toward it. But I am not yet fully in the light. So I have to be on my watch that I don’t trip over my character defects or personal shortcomings, or try to return to the past which is just a form of darkness. The past, the darkness is over. Prayer is moving toward the light, or being moved by some Power toward the Light.
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!
