on growing

Making time for God regularly is a fundamental element for spiritual growth; it will be the Lord himself who gives us the taste for his mysteries, his words, his presence and action, for feeling how beautiful it is when God speaks with us; he will enable us to understand more deeply what he expects of me. Pope Benedict XVI

Making time
Our lives are constantly on the go. From one task to another. This is why we need to make time for God.

Regularly
It's not only a spur of the moment time. It's a carved out time for us to participate in His time.

Through time with God we learned a little bit more each time about Him.
His mysteries
His words
His presence
His action
It's like dating a person. We try to seek what's on the mind of God right at this moment. We try to understand why He does what He does.

But most importantly:
Understanding what He expects of myself
To know what is required for me to grow in Him
To know what habits needed to be changed
To understand the task that I have to do today so that His will may be done in our community.
