Having attended a Jesuit university, I heard the word discernment many times, and I was taught that it offered a way towards clarity; unity of mind, heart, and soul; spiritual growth; and empowerment. I was told to be still, pray, listen, reflect, and pay attention to consolations and desolations. It all sounded good, until I […]

This story is inspired by Mark 7:24–30. I tossed and turned on my mat. I didn’t know how long I could stand this. Why me? People told my mom I was possessed. That made me scared. I felt hopeless. Then I heard my mom and older sister talking. The neighborhood buzzed with news of a […]
