I cannot tolerate vacillating faith. We have moved beyond that, strong in our convictions. The vacillating also includes those constantly discovering new approaches; different paths, ways, and means always being introduced or explored. To the best of our abilities, we know who we are: simple contemplatives living humbly in the world. We have stopped seeking and explaining ourselves, passively allowing God full control of our lives and our will. Some of us have received personal revelations, irrefutably solidifying truth. We dismiss the supernatural, grounding ourselves in the virtues. We firmly reject sensationalism, sentimentality, and emotion. We have advanced beyond feelings, needing rewards. There is no turning back. Nothing else possesses meaning. There are no alibis. Focus and concentration forefront, we cleanse, opening ourselves in prayer, mass being the greatest of prayers. We are becoming vessels prepared for proper filling. The Eucharist our guiding light we settle into stillness, doing nothing obvious, hidden in authenticity, surpassing self-consciousness-a foe subtler than pride itself. Our left hand is hidden from our right hand. Adoring, love infused, we become sources of grace, our love always reaching out to be of service to God, and our brothers and sister, those with and without Christ.
