Fr. Scott Traynor talks about the fear of pain. He speaks of the difference between true and false suffering. The gaze of the Father transforms our pain. How do we invite Jesus into the heart of that pain? Fr. Scott helps us to recognize the "mine field" we navigate in our lives and how it affects our relationship with God, especially in prayer. He speaks abut the "hazards" in spiritual desolation. Jesus can "disarm" those "landmines", if we allow Him in. We should never travel in the "mine field" alone. Fr. Scott also talks about the importance of silence and discernment. To attend to moment of God's loving gaze.
