JOURNEY is the fruit of an experiment in spiritual direction by mail based loosely on The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. It chronicles the day-by-day growth of a soul reaching out to God.

MARCH 4, 1986

This was a very unusual prayer period. Though I felt ready to move on to the next section, my Father led me, very strongly, to the addition reading, Revelations 21, 22. Almost immediately, my Father began throwing ideas at me through the passage. They came fast and furiously. I felt as though I were going to drown in them. I had no idea how I was going to keep it all straight, but a voice seemed to thunder, "Write!" Hands shaking, I grabbed up a pencil and paper, and began frantically trying to capture the concepts.

He isn’t finished with this, and much of what I wrote doesn’t yet make perfect sense. I don’t dare try to share it with you until He finishes, and I know I have it all correctly. But, the theme of it all is the nature of the Church. There’s the Interior Church - God-related, and the Exterior Church - man-related (organizational structure, etc.). Only the Interior Church is perfect. It’s all very, very profound to me, very deep, and confusing. I will return to this passage tomorrow, as I know my Father has much yet to say. The time went very rapidly.

(1) Spiritual director: This is exciting!
