Progress on the spiritual journey, Fr Laurence says, can only be seen in terms of the goal: "Growing in conformity to the person of Christ." And the journey is not linear. Recognising and accepting the cyclical nature of the patterns, he says, will bring us to humility, detachment, and wisdom, as each repetition takes us deeper towards the goal of divinisation.

These talks were given at a retreat for priests in Penang, Malaysia, in 2010.
