Dark night

[seanom]

Hi everyone, recently I have been very dry and empty. I never ever get spiritual comsolations anymore and now I think it’s some form of a dark night, I find it really difficult to meditate and I don’t know what to do, any advice??

Don’t stop praying!

We need to pray without consolations so the Lord can increase our faith. That is one way to prove to Him that we really love Him no matter what.

If we always get consolations we won’t develop spiritual muscle.

Perhaps read a few lines of Scripture and just sit still before the Lord.

Pray vocal prayers slowly and from the heart, regardless of how you feel.
