Wisdom from Sally Read

We can never know what other people experience before the Blessed Sacrament. Some people will say they feel ‘nothing’, and this is not wrong. In Adoration, Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta once wrote on a piece of paper, ‘Father, please pray for me—where is Jesus?’, and passed it to the priest at the front. She, who had had direct inspirations from God in prayer, spent decades in a dark night where she could not feel his presence. Remember: he owns the veil.
