I just learned something new from a
brother (father soon) and Jesuit friend. I was sharing to him about my own
personal challenges and then he told me that his favorite phrase now is “Agere
Contra”. He said, “It is doing things that you don’t like because you know it
is for Gods mission.” He added, “Sometimes one’s desires becomes attachment
already. That is why mission becomes a commitment and not just doing it because
it feels good.”
It is really easy to say and do
things when everything is going right, but commitment is tested when things are
going terribly wrong and we still do what needs to be said and done.
Lord, grant us the grace of peace
and perseverance when we need to say and do things “agree contra”. Amen.
