Part 2 Chapter 8
"The Interior Life"
Monsignor wrote about a saint who experiences little, if any, sensible consolation in the interior life and yet perseveres and bears much fruit. Of course, in our day, one's mind cannot help but think of Blessed Teresa of Calcutta. She may be the one we know best, but her experience is not unique. It can certainly be a challenge to persevere in the face of difficulty or the absence of the feeling of assurance. If we pursue this course ourselves, however, then we can be better disposed to teach our children this way to spiritual progress.
I loved the invitation to imagine Jesus in the tabernacle, even when we are far away by human standards. How true that the distance in miles and existence of walls between Him and us is as nothing to Him.
