Br. Samuel Trecost, O.P., on the Incremental Growth of One's Spiritual Life

"A few years ago Google reported a dramatic increase in searches containing the phrase 'open now' and a corresponding drop-off in searches for 'store hours.' The same report also noted that '53% of visits are abandoned if a mobile site takes longer than three seconds to load.' This data indicates something we already know: we are an increasingly impatient generation. We prize two-day shipping and ad-free streaming. We want things now - not later.

'It is not surprising, then, that we might expect immediate results in the spiritual life, too. . . ."

In a recent commentary, Brother Samuel Trecost, O.P., reflected on how unlike "online shopping orders, sanctity does not come overnight. Instead, it is acquired gradually, bit by bit, over long years and decades."
