GN: Faithfulness to God requires the willingness to make radical choices

Faithfulness to God requires the willingness to make radical choices in our lives. As we try to grow spiritually, we discover that we have to give up some things that are dear to us in order to make room for the Lord. By letting go of our attachments, we make ourselves freer to do great things for God.

GN: Our Worth Doesn't Depend on People's Approval

In a given situation, the right thing to do is not necessarily what will please everyone. Fighting for what we feel is right and true may make us quite unpopular. During such moments, we should remember that our worth doesn't depend on people's approval. What matters is our commitment to our God.

GN: Let us ask God to guide our conscience

We encounter criticism every day. Everyone seems to have a better idea of how we should lead our lives. Ultimately, however, we are obliged to listen only to our consciences regarding our difficult choices. Let us ask God to constantly form and guide our conscience so that we can decide correctly.

GN: The peace in our hearts will guide us

In our discernment, there comes a time when we have to commit to a decision. We can't spend our entire lives waiting for external signs in the hope that these will indicate the path we should take. The peace in our hearts, along with our trust in God, should be enough to guide us along our way.
