Walking the Talk

"It is not complicated to lead the spiritual life,but it is difficult."

(from The Sign of Jonas by Thomas Merton).

Prayer,praise,repentance, the reading of scripture,works,and the bearing of fruit,are all key activities for one desiring to lead a spiritual life.

The difficulty is that we can't forget that these acts must become a part of our being,something we do spontaneously,almost without thinking or planning.

It is always a blessing when someone completely surrenders his life to Jesus and the above mentioned devotions become a joy to do, not a chore.
