One's own time is outside of routine. It is not a blank that must be filled in with some violation of freedom to be. Just be. The ego will try to take over with its demands. The system will want some production, and will whisper, "Don't waste time." If you can learn to resist all this and just be OPEN, then you are in your own time. Once you get over any guilt, discovery awaits you. Discover what? Yourself, rather than the self someone else wants you to be for their benefit.
The homilies and musings of a Paulist Priest.

From Stephanie Logan of Centennial, CO
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!
