"God calls us to share the love and truth of Christ with those we meet. We may not have the gift of healing, and we may not be ordained, but God nevertheless calls us to care for people who are outcast."

I really enjoyed my conversation with Archbishop Charles Jason Gordon of Trinidad and Tobago on the latest episode of "The Spiritual Life." His description of his encounter with desolation was so helpful. But what is desolation and how do we work through it? www.americamagazine.org/faith/2025/0...
What is spiritual desolation—and how does God get us out of it?
“The definition of desolation is notoriously slippery,” Father James Martin writes. “It is not simply a period of dryness in prayer, which is common to everyone.”

Bringing together contemplatives to pray in silent community offers not only encouragement to individuals but fosters the beautiful spiritual energy that arises when two or three are gathered in God's name. My latest in @ncronline.bsky.social www.ncronline.org/spirituality...
