"Not being able to sleep I got up at 3 am and spent a fair bit of time meditating on the spiritual journey.
"As I get older the life of prayer seems to get more difficult, not more easy. Temptations continue and one of them is the temptation to give up. Not to do anything radically wicked, but simply to give up in the spiritual quest - to drift if you like."
In a recent commentary, Father Dwight Longenecker (parish priest at Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Church,
Greenville, SC) reflected on the presence of the desert and the mountain in one's spiritual journey.
