When they
drive us
blindly,
or we
willfully demand
that they
supply us with
more
satisfactions or
pleasures than are
possible or
due us, that is the
point at which we
depart from
the
degree of
perfection
that
God wishes for us
here on
earth.

Grant me my

Let him
know you are
available if he
wishes to
make a
decision and
tell his
story, but do not
insist upon it if he

If he
feels free to
discuss his
problems with
you, if he
knows you
understand and
will not be
upset by
anything he
wishes to
say, he
will probably be off to a
fast start.

If he
wishes to
talk,
let him do so.

No matter how
much one wishes to
try,
exactly how can he
turn his
own will and his
own life over
to the
care of
whatever God he
thinks there is?
