“He who will not willingly and humbly enter the mansion of his own soul will never be able to enter the abode of God.” – St. Bede the Venerable
St. Bede encourages us to embark on an inward journey, exploring the intricate corridors of our own souls. This contemplative endeavor, comparable to entering a mansion, becomes a prerequisite for connecting with something greater-be it a higher purpose, inner peace, or a sense of God’s presence. Consider spending a few moments each day reflecting on your thoughts and emotions, and you might find unexpected treasures within and listen to the soft whispers of God. St. Teresa of Avila once said, “Life is a continuous prayer, a constant conversation with God, wherein we discover His will and find peace in His presence.”
