Deep Conversion/Deep Prayer

I'm reading this book by Thomas Dubay (I love his other books, Fire Within and Evidential Power of Beauty).

The basic idea is that we, as Christians, want to continue in deep growth past the initial point of conversion. Just as we turned from deathly moral depravity, we also want to turn from the "smaller" willed sins and even further we want to be like Jesus in everything.

Here's a great quote from today: "When honest men love objective reality, the way things actually are, and then go on to pursue the goodness of all the virtues and are sensitive to genuine beauty, they are like starving men before a banquet. He immediately sees the answers to his needs."

God, may I be a lover of truth, a seer of beauty, let me see the answer to my needs.
