Good morning, I hope all goes well with you.
Many years ago, I remember having a discussion with Sr. Margaret who was one of the pastoral associates at a parish I was assigned. I don’t remember the full content of the conversation, but I do remember her saying to me, ” Vinnie, it’s a mystery to be lived, not to be solved.”
I never forgot this and have told it many, many times to others because it does put the matter at hand into a better way to deal with it. Everything we encounter in life does not always have a solution to get hold of. We just have to live out the mystery before us and allow God to work His miracles in our lives.
Soren Kierkegaard the Danish theologian and philosopher tells us today, “Life is not a problem to be salved but a reality to be experienced.”
Life, many times, is much more exciting when we live the mystery of life rather than having everything laid out in right order. Let us “experience the reality” that God has placed before us.
Peace and All Good,
Fr. Vinnie, fcm and the
Bros and Srs of the
Franciscan House of Prayer.
