Be lost in silence and forgot? [Isaac Watts]

Psalm 103

The great Catholic theologian, Karl Rahner, once wrote that there are two kinds of Christian spirituality: he called them wintry and summery. Summery spirituality lives in the warm immediacy of God’s presence. It feels God, finds God, sees God everywhere. Joy fills its days. “There’s joy, joy, joy, joy, down in my heart” – was a song we often sang in Sunday School.
