Decision

What today’s society exalts as “autonomy” is really just a dictatorship of whims, opening a shining door to a future of ever increasing darkness.

In today’s Gospel (John 15:12-17), our Lord reminds us of a better path:

It was not you who chose me,
but I who chose you
and appointed you
to go
and bear fruit that will remain,
so that whatever you ask the Father
in my name
he may give you.

We do well to reject the dictatorship of whims and submit in love to the Lordship of Christ.
