Benedict and Sr. Joan ask us to re-order our values, our priorities and our lives. As we evolve spiritually, we are invited to examine our deepest self~who we are~what we want~how we live~how we speak. In time, we will see the world differently. We will respond to the world differently.
We are invited to live every day every moment with purpose and meaning~never living on impulse~responding to hapless circumstances~blown about by the changing winds of our lives. Sister Joan summarizes this well when she points out that life is not easy and life is not to be lived as if it were.
This truly is an important insight for all of us. We must actively seek to develop the rigor it takes to live our lives through the gospel lens. It requires constant fidelity to our purpose~even when we fail.
