Dear Leo,
I'm so lonely these days. These months. I think it's been over a year, actually. And in some ways, decades. I am so slow to be weaned of supplemental graces. Abba gives me all that I need, and I am grateful. And then I become somewhat dependent upon those gifts, rather than utterly dependent upon Him. And now, lately, He's been giving me the Grace of fewer graces. By this I don't mean He has been withdrawing or with-holding anything I need. Rather, He is giving me more and more simply Himself. It is my paucity of soul that feels something lack. May the Lord forgive me for my spiritual gluttony!
