Rayos de Oscuridad

So described John of the Cross his experience of God in prayer, as "rays of darkness." It's an image that has always spoken to me, and one that I think of in these days without electricity. Until power is restored to the whole of the friary, posting will be slow. In your charity, let's offer a prayer of thanksgiving for the patience of the senior friars, for whom the loss of the elevator and heat is difficult.

    Done and done.

    And be grateful you didn't get 2 feet of water flooding your residence as many people did on the east coast.

Faithful, or even just thoughtful criticisms are always welcome. Uninformed rudeness to other posters or to the Lord and His Church is not.

I also reserve the right to reject comments promoting things like private revelations and fringe points of view, if it seems to me like they are being presented in a misleading way.

If you raise a disagreement with something I say but I do not respond, please do not feel slighted or insulted, or imagine that this automatically means I disagree or agree with you. It's just that I don't find the comment box to be a constructive medium for certain forms of debate.
