I love the exchange in the gospel today (John 1:35-42) between Jesus and the two disciples of John the Baptist, one of whom is the future apostle Andrew. They ask, "Rabbi, where are you staying?"
Jesus responds, "Come, and you will see."
Isn't that the story of our prayer life? So many times we ask for information, but all we get is an invitation. We want to know the what of God's purposes for us and where our journey is meant to go, but all we get is the how of getting there.
And this is enough. It's an invitation to trust, to the next step, to go and see.

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.
