Discouragement

Last night, just after I finished my post about my letter to the young confirmand I was asked to encourage, I received a message from a parishioner who has been asking - practically pleading - to learn how to praise and worship God. He backed out of tonight's prayer group, mostly out of a sense of embarrassment over what he perceives to be his lack of spiritual . . . I don't know, savvy?

I responded with more encouragement and let him know that he's pretty severely mistaken if he perceives that "spiritual people" "have it together" compared to him.
