By Elizabeth A. Mitchell, The Catholic Thing - In clear and unequivocal tones, the young priest stated, “God wants to meet you at the point of your greatest fear.” Go, he explained, to the point of your greatest fear, in your mind and heart, and God will meet you there. When He meets you there, tell Him about the fear, and He will help you there... Those words struck me in my core. I had to admit that although I had consecrated my life to Jesus through His Blessed Mother... I tended to avoid meeting God directly.
