More wisdom from Fr. Augustine Wetta

Everyone has dreams, and if all of us followed all of them, the world would collapse into chaos and ruination. Some folks have dreams that are unhealthy, self-defeating, reckless, stupid, or just plain evil. So how do we know which dreams to follow? We seek the advice of someone older and wiser than ourselves. G.K. Chesterton once said, ‘We do not really want a religion that is right where we are right. What we want is a religion that is right where we are wrong.’ Obedience is what saves us from following the wrong dreams.
