What I Have Come To
Finally had my cleansing session with my SD in the seminary. Explored various areas of my life and the ministry I'm in. Also spend half the day there away from the hustle and bustle of the parish as I wound down with a swim and some seminary food. Wasn't too bad as the day was also the Rector's birthday. So we had a 'sumptous' feast.
But those aside, I really wanted to take a breather from my 'work of the parish' and to see where I am going with all that has been happening all this time. The discerning factor through the spiritual direction with my SD pointed out that I am moving in a steady path towards some sort of a teaching, pastoral and inter-personal charism. More need to be looked into and it is still too early to pinpoint on anything specific.
What is most apparent is the letter to the Hebrews 12: 22 - 24 that became the force of my renewed foundation in my ministry and what I ought to follow through from now on. It is as if a sudden flash of light pierced my inner mind that consolidated all that I am today. The force of this gave me renewed understanding and resolution to be a better pastor, priest and child of God. Now I know why.
