Irrespective of the place I’m in relation to the official Church, or to my native congregation, I have to take accountability for my inside, true self. Finally, I have to grapple with the God Who Is and the way I’ll relate to God. Nobody else can do that nurturing for me, and nobody else is in charge once I neglect it.
How will we nurture the human soul, made by God, designed to be in communion with the Divine Life? Effectively, don’t ignore these practices which have nurtured souls for hundreds of years and millennia. Sacraments, all sorts of prayer, religious retreat, and pilgrimage—even when no farther than the Stations of the Cross in an area church—have been serving to souls all alongside, by way of varied cultures and conditions. Generally we’re vastly helped by religious companionship within the type of a religious director or prayer associate. There’s studying that focuses on the soul—Scriptures, works of saints and artists, poetry that lifts us out of ourselves. Don’t neglect silence and easy, aware respiration. Pay attention for God’s voice, and don’t be stunned the place it comes from.
