Series on “The Father” by Fr. Mark-Mary Ames, CFR (Part 7)
What’s the role of rules and laws? Rules create boundaries and usually define the best way to do things. However, following rules can also not lead to freedom; this is why we need to learn to find the right balance.
In this episode, we will discuss the spirituality of laws and rules and how we can find balance to be safe, secure, and free in following them. We are also invited to look at some of these rules that we have established, these etiquettes or cultures that we’ve put on ourselves, our neighbors, or our pastors. Let’s do some discernment of whether or not these are from God or not. We also need to go deeper and see what’s at the heart of why we do that. Remember, you have the power to bring these reflections to the Lord for deeper understanding and guidance.

The Resourcefulness of God
The Lord doesn’t need a perfect moment to do what he does. He can use—and has used — all the secular events and moments in history to bring about his plan. The detours and decisions and even things that feel like inconveniences — he’ll work with it all. And it’s not that he’s just done this once or twice…

Thy Will Be Done
This is NOT a How to Discern episode. It’s much closer to the foundation. What does the “will of God” even mean? What about “surrendering my life to God”? Discernment isn’t a calculation or program or roadmap, it’s not a “do this and do that and God’s mystery in your life will be revealed…
