I am too selfish and self-centered to be of much use to others unless I undertake the secret pilgrimage of interior surrender. Surrender to what or whom? To an energy, Power, God, who can lead me through my faults and free me from them on a daily basis. My faults don’t go away, but they can cease to control me on a daily basis if I practice prayer and meditation. I blog with all this advice and “wisdom” because I read, pray and meditate, not because I am so perfect. Far from it. The delusional me forgets my shortcomings and with that forgets my spiritual path. Chaos develops for me and others quite quickly. If my blogs don’t help you, they help me for which I am most grateful, as are those around me.
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!
