We must take responsibility

God waits for us. We are indeed called to see God. We are responsible for our own souls. Personal decisions are still decisions, personal judgments are still judgment, free will is still free will.

We must take responsibility for ourselves – what we have done, what we are doing, and what we will do. Therein lies the challenge – we fall we get up, we fall we get up. This is our constant effort.

Might there be a time when we begin to feel less and less? The gospels and Benedict seek to share an answer with us.

Pray without ceasing, read, meditate, and reflect on the word, listen with the ear of the heart. God will see us. God will hear us. And by his grace, the day will come when we realize we are drawing nearing – that God is at hand.
