But being a prophet can be a lonely vocation, a vocation rife with tears and rejection. But every now and then, the Good God in His Mercy sends someone into our life to be a friend, a ray of sunshine to dispel the clouds of despair.<BR/><BR/>The older I get, the more I understand (and this makes my heart ache) Jesus agony in the garden when He was alone - of course He wasn't really alone, the Father was with Him as surely as the Holy Angels were.
