Daily life Quote by Rod Dreher
““Father Martin said that those who think stability is meant to hold you back, and to stifle personal and spiritual growth, are missing the hidden value in the commitment to stability. It anchors you and gives you the freedom that comes from not being subject to the wind, the waves, and the currents of daily life. It creates the ordered conditions in which the soul’s internal pilgrimage toward holiness becomes possible. Or as Father Martin put it, “Stability give us the time and the structure to go deep into who we are as sons of God.””
