Monastery

Made a trip to the monastery yesterday. It was a two hour drive, but it was definitely worth it. I want to live my life in God's will, but this mess with my husband has kept me from truly being able to be close to Him. I spent the day with the sisters in prayer and talking with the Abbess. We talked about forgiveness and reconciliation. We talked about how to pray with purpose. She reminded me that I needed to go to confession. "Scrub your conscience clean". It is hard to see the faults of others when we are focused on our own unworthiness. It is also easier to be merciful when we see that we are in need of mercy as well.
