“Then he said to them, ‘The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.’” — Mark 2:27 (NIV)

We can become so fixated on jumping through the Church’s hoops that we start to believe we exist to serve the discernment process, rather than the process existing to serve us. You are not a machine designed to produce essays and reflection documents. As we head into Sunday, remember that God’s grace doesn’t require a spelling check or a theological degree to access.

The Question: What “rule” of the discernment process do you need to give yourself permission to ignore for the next 24 hours?
