Obedience is an interesting thing. I’ve been thinking so much about it. Sometimes, I feel like it must be so very challenging. A good friend in his 2nd year of temporary vows was telling me about his sister who lives in Brazil now, where I’m from, and I was telling him he should visit. And he just points at his collar and doesn’t need to say any words. This was a while ago and I still think that it must be really difficult to not be able to do what you want when you want. But at the same time, I have conversations with my friends about certain things and it’s fascinating to see what we think. While some controversial consecrations (most likely) happening soon, some people draw and tow and cross the line differently. I was talking to a friend over lunch earlier today and I was telling her that while I don’t love certain practices that I see at Mass sometimes, I feel inclined to trust the authority and discretion of the priest. That’s not to say that priests can’t be wrong, as they are human and fallible, but if I can’t trust my spiritual fathers, especially in matters of faith, who can I trust? I think a huge part of being Catholic is obedience. And while not everything should “slide,” I think it’s important to defer to those in charge. One of my closest friends is Coptic Orthodox and he was telling me that apparently spiritual direction is huge in his tradition. And that if your spiritual director tells you something that isn’t necessarily correct, but you follow it obediently, God will give you many graces. And while I’m not Coptic and I am not sure about this applying across the board, I think there is something to be said about how being obedient, in good faith, is the right thing to do. Which is why being a leader in the faith is such a responsibility (James 3:1). I don’t mean to be polemic but I think it’s interesting to think about. Curious to hear people’s thoughts

LATE HAVE I LOVED YOU
