I have no intention of stopping this blog, much less deleting my posts (it is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary and to God's Merciful Love), but I think it would be prudent for me to postpone updating it, for now.
As evidenced by the pun in the title of the blog ("pair o' dimes" = paradigms), I began it with a clear idea of what I wanted this blog to be about: philosophy rooted in Catholic Christianity.
Lately I'm less certain of exactly what it's to be about. While I believe I'm called to the priesthood, at present I am not a priest--and while we need proper catechesis, I don't know exactly what is my place at present, as a layman. I want to be clear on the mission of this blog before I continue it again--otherwise, I might as well not have it up. And for that I need to pray and discern.
Indeed, now is the time when I really want to discern in more earnest than ever before. In a little over a month will come the soonest that I might enter candidacy for the Secular Franciscan Order, and (while this need not be incompatible therewith) I have felt a strong calling to the priesthood for just over three months now. I want to rely more on Our Lord and Our Blessed Mother, because the fog hasn't completely cleared from my mind and heart, and I only have so much time left--I cannot afford to waste it.
Please pray for me in this regard, and I will continue to pray for you.
Until then, thank you for being with me. God bless you.
