Elaine-week 5

Elisabeth refers to her illness as a spiritual retreat.  (I hope I remember this the next time I am ill.)
She considers herself a "prayer apostle".
She vows to be cheerful at all times, to pray without tiring.  She resolves to be silent and to exercise humility.  She wants her "interior joy to shine forth".
She believes there are two foundations for all christian life: penance and humility.  She expresses her love for the church, its history, and its traditions.
Her resolutions revolve around prayer, penance, charity and almsgiving.

Question for the week:
I do not talk about myself.  I hate being the center of attention.  I prefer to sit back and observe and listen.
I have never been vocal about my faith.  I've always felt that the way I live and the way I treat others and the example I set tells more about my faith than if I try to vocalize it.  For one thing, it turns people off if they are in a different place regarding their own faith.
