Love this - my husband has often questioned how priesthood and fatherhood can be vocations but one comes with annual leave and a regular day off and the other is 24/7, 365 days 🤣
I do wonder how much of this lack of attention to prayer is the result of “comfortable formation” Eg persecuted faithful who grow up in cultures hostile to the faith (bishop Schneider, jp2, cardinal Sarah come to mind) don’t seem to have this issue to the same extent…
The Spiritual Life and Prayer: According to Scripture and Monastic Tradition is indeed a treasure. I've made it my Lenten reading three times. The edition I have is from Mediatrix Press and looks very clean rather than like a facsimile.
In recent months, I've been reading many of the spiritual classics. I can't tell you how profitable for my soul it has been. As a convert, I feel like I've found a real, challenging and believing Catholicism.
