Sharing you this reflection from the 3 Minute Retreat of the Loyola Press, a Jesuit Ministry.
This may help you in your journey towards freedom and prudent choices you may encounter in life.
This inspiration comes from the Bible verse, a letter of Paul to the Galatians.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also follow the Spirit.
-Galatians 5:25
We live in a world that encourages individual choice and personal freedom. We might think this freedom entitles people to do whatever they want. As Paul notes in his letter to the Galatians, true freedom means following the Spirit. When we live in the Spirit, the Spirit helps us to make prudent choices. We can't just assume that being led by the Spirit requires no effort on our part. It's our responsibility to form our conscience. Then we'll be prepared to follow where the Spirit leads.
Reflection:
What is my definition of freedom?
When was a time that the Holy Spirit guided me to make a prudent choice?
Prayer:
Spirit of Life, you bring life to all of creation. Help me to follow where you lead. Amen.
