| Quotation | My day of recollection. Went to confession to Fr. John of the Cross in the vault, as usual. Had to wait a little for him and took down Gabriel Marcel's Homo Viator from the shelf as "spiritual reading"-haven't done much lately (except for my Lenten book, Ramon Lull, whom I find at times impossible, although on the first day I was exhilarated). In Marcel's book came at once upon the Essay on "Obedience and Fidelity." I am sure I had read it before but without too much attention. It clarifies much of my present struggle and confusion. |
