| When the soul is occupied with looking away from present trials into the face of Christ, and making this a regular and passionate occupation, this soul will become more tranquil and still, and therefore more able to reflect the Being it adores. This reflected glory will enable us to love our neighbor as ourselves. The only effort required is the giving up of all effort.
Children know instinctively that dreaming, meditating, doing nothing, are absolutely vital for getting in touch with reality.
We, as a society, and as a Church, are bereft of inner illumination, and therefore unable to solve our problems.
As we obey the call, we discover that it is God Himself who not only invites us into the place of infinite delight, but has sent the Holy Spirit to make everything possible.
