When i have gone a time of abstenance then i fool myself into thinking that it wasn't really that bad so, even though it's ugly to go over it all, i think it's necessary so that you always remember who you are without God and who you are with him because both things are true.Maussyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04464814573918886160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555487744976580528.post-10857730956844374262012-02-28T23:55:43.398-08:002012-02-28T23:55:43.398-08:00This is somewhat related to what I've been goi...This is somewhat related to what I've been going through lately, as I've often thought that our Services and Prayers are sometimes too harsh, maybe old fashioned, maybe too repetitive, etc. <br /><br />But lately I see different aspects that I never thought could be possible. For example, the psalms don't feel like bitter medication anymore, but more like a repetition of how I used to see things before, so that I can see the difference and rejoice at the fact that I've overcome some of my past problems. Same with the Liturgy in general, it doesn't feel as much as a "chore", but more like an opportunity to meet God and The Church in a different and deeper way.<br /><br />Indeed, I never would have imagined this would be possible, but with God all things are possible, and I cannot express this enough. And it feels as if things will only get better.Ioanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14661789901773565662noreply@blogger.com
