Become an aloe, like a cactus or aloe plant. They grow in desert places, dry places and have the capacity to retain moisture to feed birds, air and soil. They can even flower when least expected. Prayer gives you the succulent of aloe which is a healer, just like the plant. Your spiritual life practice can become of service to others who are short on soul-feeding. So if you feel like life is a bit dry, and desert-like, keep at it. Your Power is like aloe. And it is for a purpose.
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!
