Aha! Here we have the key to developing a true relationship with God. We can know quite a bit about God through reason as Aristotle did when he formulated the "Uncaused cause", and through reading the Bible. It is only when we consider who we are and who He is that we can truly begin to know Him.

I am finding Father Nicholas Grou and his book, "The Spiritual Life" a treasure.

No doubt there are current-day Jeremiah's in our midst to who m we, like our Jewish ancestors, have turned a deaf ear... "[The Lord telling Jeremiah] to speak to the people of the cities of Judah whatever I command you, tell them, and omit nothing. Perhaps they will listen and turn back, each from his evil way, so that I may repent of the evil I planned to inflict upon them for their evil deeds.
