where next?

Where do I go next?

A tough question for our graduates to answer.

What a crummy year to graduate.

Very little closure, very little sending off.

The economy is tanking.

20+20=40.  It's a long Lenten desert journey for this year's class.

Yet transitions come what may.

We have to try make them as best we can.

Transitions take discernment, detachment, faith and courage.

The community at Antioch used fasting and worship.

Seems to me the best place to make decisions is at Mass.

Paul and Barnabas were part of a great community at Antioch.

One that they worked tirelessly to build.

But it was time to hit the road.

That time comes for every disciple

for every disciple is also an apostle.

Our Samuel Group here at St. Lawrence is dedicated

to helping discern where to go next.

Transitions come what may.

They're not often easy.

Yet avoiding them leads to frustration and confusion.

So let's instead embrace the question in faith.

Where do I go next?
