A moral, not physical, drama played out in Gethsemane
Fr Ronald Rolheiser
Sharing is caring
We keep ourselves healthy by sharing, not hoarding
Our deeper way of praying
All life has inner pressures not easily thwarted
What dark nights do for us
We habitually manipulate our faith
Facing our maker
We are meant to face God everyday
The human struggle with sexual energy
There is tension between fulfilment and piety
The real challenge in creativity
We can bring God into the world by nurturing our own souls
Religious coinage old and new
No one controls access to God
Our pagan resistance to the other world
The reality of this life sometimes trumps the promise of the spirit
Our heartaches and our headaches obstruct the search for true empathy
Sympathy and empathy come mixed with more-primal instincts
