Theological reflections scribbled on napkins, envelopes, and scraps of paper...
Theology is done on the knees in prayer, in the church in worship, behind the desk at study. But, it is also done in community -- in coffee shops, at work, around the dinner table. Theology is written in scholarly texts, spiritual classics, liturgies. But it is also scribbled on napkins, envelopes, and random scraps of paper. Coffee shop, napkin thought theology is all you will find here -- hardly worthy of the name theology at all, more question than answer, often done in real time -- yet done for the glory of God. May His blessing be upon those who read and His mercy upon this sinner who writes.

The Will of God
How do we discern the will of God? Sr. Joan Chittister offers this reflection in her commentary on the Rule of St. Benedict.
"The will of God for us is what remains of a situation after we try without stint and pray without ceasing to change it."
