“I'm sure I'm not the only one here who has at different times and in different ways been moved to pledge my total allegiance to God, only to find the initial enthusiasm and zeal fading away -- sometimes within weeks or even days.  It's not easy to sustain such commitment, just like it's not easy to keep New Year's resolutions, and most of us, most of the time, will find our good resolve fading with time. What's the answer to this?” Br. David Vryhof encourages us to drop the shame and guilt and simply offer ourselves to God anew.
