Regaining a sense of center


13.
Whenever we read or write or, indeed, take a break from a careful consideration of spiritual life, we always, always have to circle back and regain our sense of center.
 
My life is not what my life is all about. My prayer life is not for me, but for others, or just for God to enjoy.
 
Now that I belong to Him, I continue to cry out to Him. Not to belong more, but, in belonging to seek Him out in praise of Him, blessing of Him, adoration of Him, and glorification of Him.
 
Laudamus te,
Benedictimus te,
Adoramus te,
Glorificamus te.
 
We do this because that is what sons do.
