Sitting with this question: influence of fear in my life and its place in decision making, out of know where pops into my awareness the temptation narrative. I tried to ignore this for 4 days, as I am participating in a retreat. In retreat closure, I came face to face with the “devil” that is me , the one for whom the “plan” is important; not just any plan, but “my” plan, “the plan”; “the plan which is my plan”. Right now I don’t have the words to share this experience, suffice it to say, I am experiencing something similar to that of Mary Magdalene in the garden (John 20: 16-17).
