de noche oscura

I had to laugh, as Gerald May described himself as always looking for one more book in which to find the secret of … (dead bang image of yours truly) His book on “The Dark Night” substantially gentles what most of us think as terrifying. God does in secret what God could not do if we were overseeing every detail. God frees us simply to love God with heart, soul, mind, and strength; and love others as self. Even images, prayer methods, associations that have been dear to us fall away, no longer needed. God alone! We may go through many dark nights over a lifetime, of differing intensities. Shalom y’all.
