if you ever have a chance, pick up one of their magazines "Traces" - he always writes an article in it called "Inside America" - this latest month's issue is entitled "Our Neighbor: The tragedy today is the increasing inaility to recognize the human person. It is as Flannery O'Connor said: "Today we feel more, but we see less."

Honestly, the times of spiritual aridity we feel can be the most beautiful times of our life. It is sometimes during the moments when we feel the most arid or the furthest from God that He draws us the closest to Himself. Just stay strong. The arid periods of faith can be very very painful, but remain faithful. These are the instances where we really can see ourselves for who we are and discover more of Who God is. Faithfulness in aridity is very pleasing to God. Trust in Him. These phases don't last forever. This shall pass. Just hang in there and pledge fidelity to God with your every breath, even if you can't feel Him or don't think He's there.
