It's not Catholic to share about those emotions and to point to God as the source for all comfort? My priorities may indeed be misplaced at times, but I don't think that this was one of those times.

Well, I actually knew that there were others like me, but it's still nice to hear it. Blessed Mother Teresa is a great example in times of spiritual dryness. She lived with it for much of her life, and yet she lived the greatest commandment as an example for us all to see. Thanks also for the movie tips. I'll add them to my queue right now!

I'm going through the same stuff... the same cycle of self centered to God centered and back and fourth. The only hope is to continue prayer as you have- in spite of dryness and distractions- that's when it is a sacrifice- when there is no consolation in it- that's the definition of love. Also, been watching the same movies with the family... check out The Perfect Stranger and it's sequel- both on netflix.
