Have you dared to look deep into your heart to know if you are the Christian Jesus wants you to be? If so, you are suffering in silence in some spiritual way. St. John of the Cross explains that it is virtually impossible to be like Jesus without knowing some form of spiritual discomfort. We must be careful with physical discomforts that have a direct spiritual effect. There are also opposite, more positive signs. These signs include that, in limited proportion, you are offering your life by loving, praying, being present, or doing for others. We must be cautious in the spiritual world because we cannot leave behind the joy, wonder, and happiness of being both fully divine and fully human.
