This compelling love, steeped in silence, is required of every soul.  This obedience to the present moment is, moreover, an act whereby they dedicate themselves totally to the external will of God as a matter of course. This is their rule, method, law and way.  Pure, simple and sure, it is a straight path along … Continue reading adesse. →

The future, good or ill, was not forgotten, but ceased to have any power over the present.  Health and hope grew strong in them, and they were content with each good day as it came, taking pleasure in every meal, and in every word and song. ~~J.R.R.Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

It is only when one makes a relentless and unswervingly concrete commitment to prayer that it becomes possible for God even to begin to act significantly in that life. ~Fr. John-Julian, "The Dance of the 13 Veils"

  This realization of your own unworthiness will drive out of your heart people's affairs and criticism of their actions, and will compel you to look at yourself alone, as though there were no one in existence but God and yourself. ~Walter Hilton, The Ladder of Perfection.

  Practicing Present-ness. "Growth in prayer is growth in simplicity, and as the powers of the soul become united with the will in the act of love, which is prayer, [the] method of operation alters and becomes less deliberate, until [those in prayer] appear to be doing nothing, a fact which often causes much heart-searching to the … Continue reading adesse. →

  Practicing Present-ness. "The heroic minute.  It's time to get up, on the dot!  Without hesitation, a supernatural thought and . . . up!  The heroic minute; here you have a mortification that strengthens your will and does not weaken your body." ~Josemaria Escriva, The Way, #206.

Thoreau wanted to suck out all the marrow of life. Shakespeare reflected through Macbeth that all is shadow. Frost pondered the road he didn’t take while walking the fence line replacing fallen stones with his neighbor. I am a priest in the Episcopal Diocese of Oklahoma, and I serve at All Saints Episcopal Church in McAlester, OK. This blog is a journal of what I observe and question and craft as I traverse my own path. I’m glad you are keeping me company for a few steps of the journey.
