Reading the "Signs" from God

  • Fr. Mike offers the antidote of common sense for the anxiety that often comes after making a big decision. As a campus minister, he sees many students who feel like they made the wrong decision to come to college because things are not the way they imagined. To people in these situations, he advises them to stay the course. Paraphrasing St. Ignatius of Loyola and C.S. Lewis, he says to never change your course in times of desolation when that same course rang true for you in times of consolation. Give yourself a season, time to figure things out.
    If you’re about to make a big decision and don’t know which course to take, or know someone who is in that situation, check out the new book by Jackie and Bobby Angel, with Fr. Mike Schmitz, Pray, Decide, and Don’t Worry: Five Steps to Discerning God’s Will, now available for pre-order: ascensionpress.com/collection...

    EXACTLY just like marriage-----EVERY day is not a bed of roses or completely being "googly eyed all in love with your spouse". Doesn't mean if it isn't perfect today that I need to leave marriage. It's about the long haul. It's a marathon not a sprint. There are days when it is ALL work and not much joy. But then there are days when it is much more joy then work. Time tells.

      Friend, my favorite definition of the word "JOY" was one I got from a parish priest. It was "the conscious possession of a gift". When I use that as my definition, I can see how something difficult, or even painful, can still have joy. Faith is a Gift, Life is a gift, Love is a gift... (etc) so in the midst of a trial if i focus on gratitude for the things I already possess, it takes the edge off of the inadequacies that I have.

    If my life has taught me one thing it's this, you can always choose another path if the one you are on isn't giving you fulfilment, but if you expect to be fulfilled simply by changing paths you will almost always be disappointed. My point is this, changing your situation, position, or trade really isn't that difficult. I'm a bit of gypsy so I know that. But no matter where you go you take yourself with you and unless and until you change your heart and give it over to God your soul will always be hungry and nothing you feed it will bring you any level of satisfaction. It took me longer than it should have to learn that simple lesson because I was letting the wrong things determine my success. Trust in God and avoid a life of fear and you will be okay.

    I have those thoughts often. When my classes don't go well certain days, or relationships don't go well at times, I often think "welp, time for me to start thinking about becoming a priest or a friar". Like I just took a test recently and did poorly and I thought "welp this must be a sign to become a priest". These "signs" often come with anger and frustration, so THAT gives me a clue that becoming a priest is probably not something to think about when I'm angry and frustrated, like how some heroes in the Old Testament were angry and frustrated and wished for death, and God says instead "I have a better idea"

God blessed me with a devout Catholic man! In retrospect, I wish that I would have asked God to prepare me to receive my future spouse. I truly believe I would have met him sooner. So if you're not doing so already, ask God to make your heart, mind, and soul ready for your husband. God already knows who he is, now you need to prepare for the day you meet!

    1. Timeframe (lean into the season)
    2. Never chane your course in desolation what you knew was good and true in consolation (ugh wow haha thanks fr mike). Just live as ____. Unless you're in a place of danger.
    3. Pray Decide and Dont Worry 😄 (Getting this book soon)

    I often goes to church and when priest read the Bible, there are perfect fragments for current problems, so accurate that I literally cried one time. Sorry if my english is sloppy.

      If there is no answer, that is an answer! lay down the seeds and sit back and let God do the rest and quit stressing. St. Monica prayed for her son and all went well.

    Being that I'm an atheist, it's good to see a pastor that has some sort reasoning skills and isn't completely deluded from reality.
    Unless someone is holding up a sign, it's most likely not a sign of anything but that's just how our minds work at times.
    The mind wants to make everything a pattern thus we are pattern seeking creatures.
