Desiring a Spiritual Life
January 2, 2026
During our life we become more aware not only of our crying loneliness but also of our real desire for a solitude of heart; we come to the painful realization not only of our cruel hostilities but also of our hope to receive our fellow humans with unconditional hospitality; and underneath all of this we discover not only the endless illusions which make us act as if we are masters of our own fate but also the precarious gift of prayer hidden in the depth of our innermost self.
Reflection Question: How are you longing for a deeper spiritual life in 2026?
“You desire truth in the inward being; therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart.”
- Psalm 51: 6
