Funny...My Mother died last year and the rural local Pauline Rite Pastor was sitting in our living room speaking with us and in responding to one question form my Uncle, the Pastor referenced "dark Night of the Soul."
I couldn't have been happier to hear that referenced
Many false-traditionalist types I know are too busy chasing apparitions, reading about apparitions and prophecies of doom, reading books complaining about changes to Catholic liturgical and disciplinary life, etc., etc. to actually spend time following the liturgical and disciplinary life of the Church, to join the ascetic struggle, or to undertake spiritual reading.
My Mother-in-Law, God bless her, in between taking care of a house and hardworking husband (her four children are all grown and mvoed on now), working for one of the Deaneries of the Diocese of Pittsburgh as an administrative assistant, and counseling divorced Catholics to help them maintain the faith and personal cheerfulness in their dire situation, also finds time to attend daily Mass, say the entire Divine Office daily, pray the Rosary, and engage in Spiritual reading. God love her, I've yet to meet a traditionalist even capable of half of what she does, let alone doing it.
