    Dear Father Emmanuel

    As my spiritual Father,

    you have neglected me.

    Because you’re always busy, to be spiritual

    teaching me, and you, when I make Appmt with you, you only have time of five minutes before you have people to see.

    Then, you and the people in your confession room, stay and talk for over half an hour .

    Your neglect of me, has saddened me,
    and you don’t take me seriously,
    Spiritual neglect nothing else. Causes a heavy pain in my soul . I don’t know your thoughts about my spiritual growth,
    You also, never answer my phone calls, or return my messages.

    And I don’t understand why? You haven’t told me, unless you tell me, I don’t know the reason. I wish you could tell me why you treat me so extremely different to the other people who contact you.

    Please tell me.

St Isaac the Syrian Homily: 17 – Part 2 – “Entering into another Man’s Space”

In this Homily, Fr Emmanuel continues to explore the practical and spiritual advice given by St Isaac the Syrian. The practical advice covered in this episode includes instruction on how we should walk, sit and laugh, as well as, how we should compose ourselves when entering another person’s space. This then is linked to the state of our spiritual lives.
