1. I find the constant noise a challenge. Unfortunately it seems more and more difficult to find silence in our world.
2. Letting go of control and recognition of the necessity to test the spirits. Satan can inspire good things for evil ends.
3. I need, not to call, but to visit my godmother. Because of hearing loss she can’t talk on the phone. She (like my mom) is 93 and time is growing short.
Amen to that. Have you read "The Power of Silence" by Cardinal Sarah? Ironically, I listened to the audiobook version of this book.
My spiritual director once told me something similar in regards to "feeling peace" about a particular decision i.e. If a man feels at peace by leaving his wife, peace is not a good guiding principle for discernment of spirits. So your comment makes a lot of sense to me.
We're visiting my family in Mexico for Christmas, and I share that feeling of parents getting older, mine are still in their sixties but time doesn't stop for anyone.

I appreciate you commenting, Father!
Power of Silence is on my to be read (or listened to) list. I hope I get to it. It’s a very long list!
