In the midst of active life

Your desire for a contemplative, inner life, your request for unity with Christ can be fulfilled amidst the active life you lead. Believe it, be assured that it is possible, even if you are still inexperienced and sometimes struggle with it. Knowing and believing that it is possible – and at certain moments in life convincing yourself that it is happening – that is what is new in you. This progress you made in the past year. It is not a small thing, but something significant, you can feel it yourself.
