When we find our life, our self, in and through this process of losing it, everything else in the world acquires a different meaning, a different value. This process of finding oneself is a re-evaluation of everything. There are times, crises, in our life where we need to do a re-evaluation of things – have we lost something; what has gone wrong? We’ve dropped the ball somewhere. So there are times when we need to re-evaluate. If this process of finding ourselves in the way that Jesus describes it is truly going on in our life – it’s simply part of our daily existence, we’re aware of it on good days and bad days, and we’re faithful to it, we’re true to it – then this process of evaluation, re-evaluation of everything else in our life is continuous; we don’t have to wait for a crisis.
( Finding Oneself 1 Laurence Freeman )
