I too, in my early thirties, went on a retreat to learn the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius of Loyola. I was a meditate-er before, but this took my level of mediation to a whole new level. I love Him. I still mediate daily with Him almost forty years later. My mediation is usually a prayer and so my life evolved into a life of prayer, where every day is one long prayer. Many of these conversations with the Son of the most High are words of gratitude.
I do not think we thank God enough.
A dear friend of mine who helped me collaborate on my last book had a faith so deep in our Master she radiated the presence of the Spirit. As we walked once a week to discuss out 'progress' on our efforts to get the voice of a former POW WWII heard, we always digressed into concretions about our Master. Thank you for putting this together. It is an excellent piece!
Thank you Chuck for this glorious wisdom. You have nailed it!
