A blogger may look on his or her efforts as part of the larger vocation of the new evangelization. I prefer to call it teaching. In addition, prayer, in fact, intense, even contemplative prayer, must be part of the call to lead the sheep to the Living Water, Who is Christ. Without the purification of the imagination and intellect, one merely does one's own thing and not God's. Purifying prayer and suffering must be behind each word.
