Prayer

Today I felt a combination of lost and excited, mostly lost. I lead what would be called a "life of prayer", meaning I use a lot of prayer and meditation to seek guidance as to the right thing to do and act accordingly. At this time of change I am reminded of the words of Thomas H. Green, S.J.; "We become lost in a trackless desert — and then, if we persevere despite our disorientation, we begin to realize that it is only being lost, in losing ourselves, that we are found. The whole of our life and not just our prayer life, becomes a paradox, an apparent contradiction concealing and revealing a deeper truth, because we begin to realize that we must live as we pray" It is also an exciting time for me since I know I’m on the right path - but I do not know where it leads.
