Thank you, Phillip! Beautiful reflection. What part of Christ's life is God asking me to emphasize now? Knight, Monk, King, Prophet. What does discernment look like in concrete choices? Contemplative, then missionary. Receive before you act. Sit at the Word, receive the sacrament, let charity take root and grow, and then fight, pray, lead, govern, and speak. Without that sequence, the Knight becomes harsh, the Monk sterile, the King a dictator, and the Prophet self-serving. But with that sequence each vocation breathes from the same Holy Spirit and serves the same end, shaped and sustained by the altar of Christ.
