Ariana Carruth, Love for Our Afflictions: Allowing Pain to Pave the Way to Peace“Some part of me broke in prayer that morning, and some part of me was reborn as I gave myself fully and completely to prayer and to God in that moment.”
Ariana Carruth, Love for Our Afflictions: Allowing Pain to Pave the Way to Peace“In that moment, I welcomed back the light and let go of the fear, the feelings of unworthiness, the past, the loss, the wallowing, the grief and the anger. I let go of the illusion of control in our losses, of our afflictions.”
