God calls each person in an individual way that both respects that person’s gifts and limitations and transforms them. Barry talks about the ‘radical’ discipleship of leaving home and family and following the poor Jesus on his dangerous mission into places where no one else will go. Not all of us can do that. I can’t be a brain surgeon or an Olympic athlete either. These days I can hardly function in that ‘radical’ sense at all. But each one of us can respond radically to our own call and see where that takes us whether it be outwardly heroic or not.

PamBG: These days ill-health means I lead only the occasional retreat but I live and work in a retreat house doing a certain amount of spiritual direction etc.

Not just abstractly—we need to feel our desire met and kindled. Discipleship is only grown in the dance of mutual desire. God and I desiring together.

I posted something about this after reading a part in a William Barry book … he writes that people with personal problems won’t be called, if I understood him correctly :-(
