This little book is really quite inspiring, actually... at least in the "think on these things" way... and I like it when I'm made to think.
I'm also thinking I should become a cloistered nun. :D No, seriously, if I suddenly disappear, that's what I've gone and done. :)
Mother Angelica's "Answers, Not Promises" (excerpt):
As you move forward on your spiritual journey, you will discover one very important thing: the Christian response to a daily life situation is not an easy response. It goes against our human nature to love someone who is hurting us, to obey laws that ask us to sacrifice, or to be patient and kind to strangers.
Christianity elevates our human nature by combining it with the supernatural. This combination enables us to respond to the trials and tribulations of everyday life. You can endure irritable children, a demanding spouse, a rude boss, and gossiping friends with your eyes set on a higher reality. You can rise above your human nature and unite your mind and your will to the Will of God.
