Guidance: Stop Guessing God’s Will
Catholics in Ordinary Time
We often try to figure out God’s will on our own… and end up confused, stuck, or second guessing everything. In this episode, Fr Jack explores the discipline of guidance, not as a private decision making tool, but as something deeply communal. God does not only speak to individuals. He speaks to His people together. Drawing from the wisdom of Richard Foster, this episode unpacks how true discernment happens when we gather, listen, and seek the Holy Spirit as one body. Fr Jack points to the powerful witness of Saint Francis Xavier and the early Jesuits, who came together in prayer and discernment, open to God’s will. What they discovered went far beyond their own plans and expectations. Try it this week: Do not discern alone. Bring your questions into prayer with others. Listen together. Because sometimes… God’s voice becomes clear when His people seek Him as one.
