Thoughts on Spiritual Discipline
|
|
Superficiality is the curse of our age…. The desperate need today is not for a greater number of intelligent people, or gifted people, but for deep people.
-Richard Foster, Celebration of Discipline |
|
A life is either all spiritual or not spiritual at all. No man can serve two masters. Your life is shaped by the end you live for. You are made in the image of what you desire.
-Thomas Merton |
|
Prayer is commission. Out of the quietness with
God, power is generated that turns the spiritual machinery of the
world. When you pray, you begin to feel the sense of being sent, that
the divine compulsion is upon you.
-E. Stanley Jones
|
|
Oh, brethren, let us try
to realise that Jesus Christ is a Host of treasures, and riches, and
grace, always pleading in the midst of the Glorious Church of the
Redeemed! We cannot exaggerate the power; we cannot exaggerate the
efficacy of the pleading of this Victim, Jesus Christ, Who, "by One Offering hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified."
-Fr Ignatius, 1891 | | | |

The Practice of Confession
“When
a Catholic comes from confession, he does truly, by definition, step
out into that dawn of his own beginning… in that brief ritual God has
really remade him in His own image. He may be grey and gouty, but he is
only five minutes old.”
-G.K. Chesterton

A
director is a fellow traveler. They're not there to help you get your
life smoothed out, but to lead you into a closer relationship with God.

The retreat time can help you get back in touch with parts of yourself that had been bypassed in daily life for the sake of efficiency or to avoid the pain.
