Abandoned

Filed under: Uncategorized — catholicpostergirl at 10:08 am on Sunday, March 15, 2009

What do you do when you feel abandoned? When God doesn’t seem present, and you’re left on your own?

I know that this doesn’t happen. At least, I know this intellectually. God doesn’t leave us. He’s always with us. But I also know that these periods of dryness and blackness are common to the religious experience.

How do you get out of it?

One thing that might help that knowing that even Mother Theresa went through what St. John of the Cross referred to as dark nights of the soul. Saint Thérèse of Lisieux (The Little Flower) also went through these dark periods. Her memoir might be good inspiration reading.

I hope this helps!
