About Me

Into Stillness is my outreach, be it in a very small way. My part will be as small as I am but God can use the weak. My best efforts aren’t enough.   Wounded and flawed, I place this blog under the patronage of the Immaculata that we may all be drawn closer to her Son, Jesus.

Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a colt of an ass so I know he can make use of me to carry His Word.

“When speaking of spiritual matters an ignorant person like myself,” says St.Teresa of Avila, “must write much that is superfluous and even alien to the subject before coming to the point.  My readers must be patient with me as I am with myself ..”

Words of the Lord to Julianne of Norwich

In the end, “You will see yourself that every kind of thing will be well…Accept it now in faith and trust, and in the very end you will see truly in fullness of joy.”

  1. Thanks for the kind words! I should also thank you that since you have linked to my blogg people are reading it. So thanks and God Bless! I am glad to share the Eastern Lung with Western Catholics. Sometimes we think of the Church only as the Roman Catholic Church, many within and outside the Church have little knowledge of the Eastern Churches. I hope I can humbly offer it to some. Pray for me!
