Are you always surrounded by noise? Do you find it difficult to sit in silence and be fully present with the moment?
Are you constantly distracted by your phone, computer, the news, even your own thoughts?
Inner poverty is one of the great curses of our age. It stems from prayerlessness, our addiction to noise, and our obsession with the continual distractions provided by the outer life.
Without a rich inner life, we can easily forget our true priorities and loose our center of gravity.
Many of the holy people before us, emphasized the importance of an inner life focused on humility, detachment, and discernment or surrender to God’s will.
St. Catherine of Siena’s teachings highlight the interconnectedness of self-knowledge and knowledge of God, emphasizing that virtues stem from both.
How well are you doing?
