Living in the Tensions 2: On Discernment
Last week, I talked about Living in the Tensions in terms of accepting the paradoxes of life. This week, let’s talk about living in the tensions in terms of it being a prerequisite for discernment.
St. Ignatius of Loyola has another word for living in the tensions: indifference. He said that we should be able to to hold ourselves in balance: not putting ourselves in one or the other choice or extreme. In fact, God’s will is said to be found in the tensions.

Living in the Tensions
Last week, I talked about the 20 Things I Learned in Life. I forgot to put in that list one really important lesson I have also learned. It’s good though because then it gives me a chance to talk about that topic today.
This lesson is something I learned in the Novitiate of the Society of Jesus, and it was taught to me/us by the great Fr. Benny Calpotura. He calls it “living in the tensions”. The concept is similar to Parmenides’ Golden Mean (check that out yourself in wikipedia! hehe).

Nicolas is the new General of the Society of Jesus — which means that he is the head of all the Jesuits in the world. Fr.

Jesuit Joke
A former student, Robbie Paraan, and one of the prenovices in Cebu when I was there, Eric Esteba, are entering the Jesuit Novitiate in Novaliches today. I take a break from Organize-Your-Life Fridays because of this. Here’s a joke that I dedicate to them and all my Jesuit friends.
A Jesuit, a Dominican, and a Franciscan [...]
Bread and Fish
When I was a Jesuit and assigned to the Ateneo Christian Life Community in Ateneo de Manila, I directed a first year college student named Robbie Paraan for his first 5 day retreat. We became good friends afterwards. He eventually became OAC (Over All Coordinator/President) of the organization, graduated from college, and worked in HSBC.

The Bell Ringer
(Last April 12, 2008, two Jesuits were ordained to the priesthood: Frs. Xavier Olin and Nono Alfonso. This is Fr. Nono’s thanksgiving speech.)
When I am asked about my vocation story – how I discerned or heard God’s call – my simple answer is that, I heard the pealing of the bells. I remember when [...]
