Almost one year later

First I will begin by what strikes me as the immediate structure and change that is obvious to me since the last post. The wording strikes me as direct, biting, and in parts vicious. Forgive me, a wretched sinner!

On a note of praise amongst my undeniable unworthiness, indeed I have finally chanced upon an environment of intense spiritual growth. In this I am surrounded by saintly examples and the saints themselves who are meant to reflect the light of God's glory and miracles that inspire doxology. In fact, my driving life goal is now, and hopefully shall be, to become a living doxology where nothing is my own, where I have no rights to myself, but only to praise the one from whom blessings flow. And I'm not talking about raising my hands during a praise song that makes me feel good, but to be perfect just as our Father in heaven is perfect (Matthew 5:48). Necessarily this cannot include a time-line, but the result is timeless if you catch my drift... This is believed by our early church to not be reserved for the few; it is actually very near, and it is for everyone even though few may realize its tremendous power. It is the everyday expression of the fullness of the Kingdom of heaven, always present on its potential, eternal, always reachable, and not just glimpsed, but actually realized through participation in the mysterious life of God, which is brought to life in the sacred Mysteries of the Church (sacraments like communion, baptism, etc.).
