The pathway to salvation is followed, step by step, through the discernments we make from one moment to another. Just as one spark can kindle a fire, so too a single discernment can acquire the power to change the course of human history. Whether grace changes our perception of a given situation, invites us to act according to a certain spirit, or marks us out for some bold action, the stage is set for the work of the Spirit in our everyday lives. Though we live in a world beguiled by political ideology, true power comes into being when we detach ourselves and make a simple assent to the work of God. The salvation of the world will not be achieved through a political programme, but through innumerable discernments of Spirit that, collectively, create the impetus to work for the common good.
