I Cried Last Night

My spiritual director sometimes makes reference to messages from the Spirit that he senses or encounters in various movies.

Last evening while watching a Hallmark movie entitled “Candles on Bay Street,” I experienced again a sense of our relationship with each other as children of God.

In this remarkable story, several times the song “You’ve got a Friend” written by Carole King in the early 70’s was sung in the movie. This song moved me in a special way.

It is easy to dismiss my experience as a sentimental moment, but I see more than the emotion of the event. I sense the Spirit conveying to me a heartfelt relationship with my fellow pilgrims.
