Interesting.  I come from an evangelical background, always felt I was getting milk.  When I converted to RCC I finally felt I got some meat.  The vast repository of spiritual wealth from tradition to the saints has left me more than satisfied, often times I feel like a gluton for spiritual works, so much so, I remind myself that I must stop to smell the flowers - and then I read St. Therese of Lisieux.

To see the church as an institution is like seeing a university as nothing more than an institution, and missing the wealth of knowledge and traditions embedded in history.

Yet, our doubts and deep seated fears are not to be so easily dismissed.  As we walk through this valley of death, a dark night will descend upon our soul... such a night is when we ought to seek rest, take a deep sigh, and know we are not alone.
