Do not be afraid! Life with Christ is a wonderful adventure. He alone can give full meaning to life, He alone is the center of history. Live by Him!
- Pope John Paul II
In times when we fear that our lives may be obstructed by darkness, sadness, or injustice, we must remember these words by the saintly Pope John Paul II. Our lives must be centered in Christ because it is only in Him that we can find fulfillment. Sometimes we think we know where the Lord is calling us, but we find out later that our calling is elsewhere. It is in the moments of understanding and consolation that we can see God's voice calling to us in the darkness. Sometimes the "Divine Pest" goes after us to make us see that it is in His divine will, that we find our happiness. A journey of discernment can tire us if we forget the reason for which we started in that journey to begin with. If we ask ourselves "Why am I here? What is my purpose at this moment?" and if we can answer those questions with honesty, then we can be certain that God is present in our lives and that we are living by Him.
