I never really interviewed for jobs. Each one found me through presence. And this morning I realized — Christ has been my longest interviewer.
When the Church forgets she is her—a living body, not a brand—we begin to lose the very tenderness that holds us. This reflection begins with an old hymn and ends as an invitation to feel again what we were made to hold.
Logic builds systems. Trust sustains them. When logic reaches its limits, it doesn’t collapse — it transforms into trust. Because the moment you stop needing to understand everything, you start belonging to it.
We live inside architectures we didn’t build — family, faith, culture. Most stay invisible until they crack, and in the cracks longing shows itself.
Not skills. Not senses. Just six choices we make every day—three that make us more human, and three that slowly pull us away from ourselves.
“The soul must abandon all her own understanding and dwell in the dark.”

Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan isn’t just about being kind—it’s about showing up with grace. Not from above, but from beside. This piece reflects on how presence, not power, is what makes someone a true neighbor.
