Lessons from Fr. John Meehan, SJ :)

1. Consolation means you feel the presence of God.  Desolation means you cannot feel the presence of God.
2. We need to be both Martha and Mary (http://www.usccb.org/bible/luke/10).
3. If we are pulled in too many directions we can lose our focus or our sense of purpose.
