Creating The New is not a massive undertaking, like a big project we need to take up. It\u2019s about doing what we do each day in a \u201creceptive\u201d way. The \u201cold\u201d way overtly pushes us toward a predetermined course of actions and outcomes. Many are happy to encourage us to new end goals through old means. But the \u201cnew\u201d way is naturally occurring.<\/span><\/p>

Fr. Adrian, my just turned 80-year-old parish priest of many decades, speaks of never, ever doing something for a person that they can do for themselves. \u201cI\u2019m not a caretaker of people\u2019s lives,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019m there to facilitate and animate.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The way I live is, I hope, like this. I \u201cfacilitate\u201d (or make possible) the animation of a new way. I do it by sharing what passes through me. I, like you, can enliven Mary\u2019s way, only as I share who I am in relationship with her\u2014and you.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThe Course sought to teach you to develop a relationship with all that passes through you. Now is the time when the fruit of those efforts will be reaped. For what passes through you now is a relationship without end. What passes through you now is the eternal come to replace the temporary.\u201d <\/span>ACOL D:Day9.14, and D:Day 15.12<\/span><\/p>
