By James T. Majewski,. Catholic Culture - This week, we conclude our series of readings from St. Alphonsus’s Uniformity with God’s Will... In these final chapters, St. Alphonsus turns his attention to times of spiritual desolation, when submission to the will of God can sometimes be the most difficult... Alphonsus includes in his considerations: the sudden loss of others, particularly those by whom we are spiritually edified; dryness and difficulty in prayer; unrelenting temptation; as well as the circumstances of our own death.
