“Spiritual Directions” – Fr. John Corapi

You need some silence and some solitude in the spiritual life, without it, you will get nowhere. We live in a noisy, distracting world. Listen, every morning, very early, you ought to get up, get up an hour early, go aside, if you can go to mass, great that’s the best, if not go to a little quite corner of your home say the rosary, read the Bible, commune with God, you have got to have some solitude. God speaks in the solitude of our soul. If there is too much noise in your life you won’t hear him because he speaks in a whisper, Very frequently and so make sure you have that in a spirit of penances and sacrifice oh how that’s gone out of our life in recent times, it is essential, do little acts of penance for God.
