Non-Fiction, Experiential. Author is a lay member of the Roman Catholic faith, and observes the practices of a secular monk. Meaning he keeps the hours of the Divine Office daily; as his state of life and disposition permits. When the Lord Jesus decides that the writer of this manuscript should suffer as he did; albeit in a watered-down manner; the author has learned to keep his mouth shut and his comments to himself (usually). Jesus suffered beatings and he was without sin, so I reckon his secular monks should be content to do the same; if required. Anyway, the author discusses various diary entries that he has made and may not be particularly concerned about the order (dates) of the entries. And hopefully, his comments are presented in a manner that they may be of assistance to those who are seeking spiritual growth. Hence, to improve on a personal relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; to become holy, as God is holy. This, after all, is required of us all. You don’t want to be acting like a goat when Jesus comes to gather his sheep.
