I have ventured into a very ‘exciting experience' these past few weeks following my Purpose Driven Life Sessions...
~ Silent, hidden, delightful ~ journey to the heart
A couple of friends started asking me to pray with and for them at regular hours and I did so ~ diligently waking up at the time we have agreed upon to pray together ~ meditating God's Words as the day progresses.
*It has been several years since I have taken hold of my breviary and prayed with a community...

| A group of Dominicans gathered in adoration and prayer taken after typhoon Maring. I had a chance to pray with them. |
Immersed in prayer with spiritual companions led me to understand the depth and importance of praying for others.
I've also been carefully rereading a compilation of homilies and reflections of a Spiritual Father and took in short retreats and visited the Blessed Sacrament in between the holidays we had last week.
Some friends would ask me 'how come' continue a life similar to the one I had before? How come when I had already been given 'freedom' to lead a 'totally different life?'
"Man looks at the outward appearance--but the Lord looks at the heart."
It wasn't the 'habit' that I wore that made me religious...
"The Beloved's Face need not be present on this portrait for the focus is on the Bride who takes her delight at the presence of the Groom that her soul longed for."
~ a spiritual companion~
I ventured, yes, in an exciting but difficult task, to share something that should be lived rather than explained...
Only God knows what is happening inside each one of us...
Again, where you are in your journey is where you should be...
Pazienza! Corragio!
But when the time comes that He'd like to take you into an adventure ~ be ready to respond...
