With all of goofy “Reality” shows on TV, the ones that somewhat spark my interest are the survival shows. Besides wondering why someone would want to undergo such miserable conditions, it is interesting to watch how well, or not, the people adapt to the situation.
From these shows, it is constantly repeated that the people need: fire, shelter, water and food. Spiritual survival isn’t much different that physical survival. We have: the fire of the Holy Spirit, the shelter of the Church, the water of Baptism and the Body and Blood of Christ to nourish us. Unlike the TV shows, all that we need for spiritual survival is readily available to us. All we have to do is use the resources God so generously gives us.
