Jesus says, "Seek and you shall find." Find what? I seek to be comfortable, at peace and happy. I am reading this Spiritual Guru, Columba Marmion. He says to seek God's will rather than my own comfort. Well, how am I supposed to know what God's will is? Maybe I should ask God? I am not sure I want to know. Seems all God's close friends suffered on the way to happiness. "I was hoping God, that there was, you know, another way." Be careful what you ask for. Everytime I ask to be happy, I seem to have to give something up that I like. I have found that this works. Good grief!

Fr Terry, Columba was beatified at the same time as Pope John XXIII, no?
