At Mass this morning, Father Jon challenged us to reflect on our basic purpose in life ~ " Why are we here?" A sound philosophy of life, knowing our purpose, guides us in making both major and minor decisions.
He asked us to reflect on ways we may be trapped by certain cultural views that keep us from accomplishing our purpose. These are the ones he named:
~ Individualism: "What's in it for me?"
~ Hedonism: "If it feels good, do it!"
~ Minimalism: "What's the least I can get by with?"
A good Lenten reflection...Which areas of my life are controlled by those viewpoints? What is my true purpose in life?
