'I now know for sure that there is a long, hard journey ahead of me.  It is the journey of leaving everything behind for Jesus' sake.  I now know that there is a way of living, praying, being with people, caring, eating, drinking, sleeping, reading, and writing in which Jesus is truly the center. 


How do I find it? 

George gave me the answer, 'Be faithful in your adoration.'  He did not say 'prayer' or 'meditation' or 'contemplation.'  He kept using the word 'adoration.'  This word makes it clear that all the attention must be on Jesus and not on me.  To adore is to be drawn away from my own preoccupations into the presense of Jesus.  It means letting go of what I want, desire, and have planned and fully trusting Jesus and his love.'
