Condensed Reflection
by James Z. Carpio
Father Mike cites C.S. Lewis' concept of Undulation meaning the rising and falling of anything in any situation. A roller coaster ride or ups and downs.
Yes, in life we do have myriad expectations and when the realities are not what we would have wanted to be then we become confused then, we try to fathom their meanings.
All Father Mike emphasizes is that they all mean nothing.
In times of discernment he cautions us not to make decisions in times of desolation and keep our plans that we made in times of consolation.
He suggests that we make that a rule of life.
Basically, just stay the course, then, set a season for yourself or a specific timeframe. When that time is over then maybe you could shift gears and consider a different life direction.
However, Father Mike explicitly tells us to use our common sense especially when we are in a place of danger, a situation to get out of for safety and security.
It all makes sense to me.
From the Team of Inspires, walk with God! And, may you be inspired by the Holy Spirit!
