The Politics of Discernment

The Way 63/1 (January 2024), The Politics of Discernment

The pathway to salvation is followed, step by step, through the discernments we make from one moment to another. Just as one spark can kindle a fire, so too a single discernment can acquire the power to change the course of human history. Whether grace changes our perception of a given situation, invites us to act according to a certain spirit, or marks us out for some bold action, the stage is set for the work of the Spirit in our everyday lives. Though we live in a world beguiled by political ideology, true power comes into being when we detach ourselves and make a simple assent to the work of God. The salvation of the world will not be achieved through a political programme, but through innumerable discernments of Spirit that, collectively, create the impetus to work for the common good.
