All of our predecessors have had to grapple with holy creative tension, such as that expressed in the Flaming Arrow. What is it in your life?

#16
Tension-
Morning Prayer over oatmeal
Work – 45 minute commute (Rosary and Divine Mercy Chaplet)
Lunch – adoration (30 minutes) before the Blessed Sacrament
5:30 Mass (if not earlier)
Home – relax with wine and dinner – then Evening Prayer if lucky
TV or some relax
Dinner – Night Prayer
If not Evening Prayer – Night Prayer together.

#17
Difficult to do Carmelite tasks – married with children and working full time.
Evangelization – reading the Bible – talking about God. Tension to bring out holiness in others. Interacting with non-Catholics, fallen away and those who don’t follow Catholic teaching.
