Wir waren heute Abend im Rage-Modus - ihr konntet zwei Stunden lang Wut ablassen. Hupende Autofahrer:innen, der nervige Onkel oder Kollege, der Mitbewohner, der euch immer das Toast wegfrisst - was macht euch rasend? Oder sind es größere Issues: der zunehmende Rassismus oder die Klimakrise. Und gibt es Dinge, die ihr im absoluten Rage-Mode getan und gesagt habt und sehr bereut?
Ever been surrounded by people, but felt painfully alone? It's more common than you think. Loneliness isn't just emotional—it's biological. It triggers the same brain systems as physical pain. If you've been feeling disconnected lately, it's not your fault. Your nervous system is simply trying to protect you.

Wie kann es sein, dass ein harmloser Satz über die Waschmaschine in einem handfesten Streit endet? In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Christin über emotionale Auslöser, die uns scheinbar grundlos intensiv mit Wut, Rückzug oder Frust reagieren lassen. Doch was steckt wirklich dahinter, wenn Kleinigkeiten plötzlich eskalieren? Warum treffen bestimmte Sätze mitten ins Herz, obwohl sie harmlos gemeint waren? In dieser Folge geht es um emotionale Wiederholungsschleifen, tiefliegende Beziehungsmuster und die Macht alter Verletzungen. Wir zeigen dir, welche klassischen Fehler Paare im Umgang mit Triggern machen – und wie du mit etwas Übung und Selbstmitgefühl aus dem Teufelskreis aus Vorwürfen, Rückzug und Eskalation aussteigen kannst. Du bekommst praktische Werkzeuge, Reflexionsfragen und eine einfache Übung, die dir hilft, deine Trigger besser zu verstehen – und dich selbst in solchen Momenten zu regulieren. Damit aus alten Mustern echte Entwicklung werden kann.Ein Muss für alle, die weniger explodieren, tiefer verstehen und mehr Verbindung in ihrer Beziehung erleben wollen.

→ Prayer CalendarSummer offers a unique opportunity to slow down, connect, and refocus on what really matters. But for many parents, it quickly becomes a season of hustle, pressure, and endless activity. In this episode, we explore how to reclaim the summer months with purpose, peace, and joy. We share practical, faith-centered ideas for engaging your children from backyard discovery and theme days to pointing your kids to God through nature and Scripture. With encouragement rooted in biblical wisdom and real-life examples, this episode reminds us that summer doesn't need to be full of structure to be full of meaning.Scripture mentionedMatthew 13:3-9Matthew 13:18-33Ephesians 5:19-20Episode Highlights[00:00:00] Introduction[00:03:30] 3 Strategies for Laying a Foundation this Summer[00:15:30] Four-part Garden framework: Prepare, Weed, Tend, Irrigate3 TakeawaysSummer is a valuable time for preparing the soil of your child's heart. By slowing down and creating space for unstructured play, natural discovery, and quiet reflection, you nurture their imagination, curiosity, and spiritual awareness.You don't need an elaborate itinerary to have a meaningful summer. Simple theme days, outdoor play, and intentional moments of connection can offer more joy and growth than packed calendars and over-programmed weeks.Pointing your children to God doesn't have to be complicated.

Reclaim Connection and Presence in Your Life with the Tend to Your Soul Toolkit What if rest wasn't something you had to earn, but something you were simply allowed to need? Whitney connects with Scottie Durrett, motherhood and lifestyle coach, who offers an honest look at why exhaustion and overwhelm are so common in motherhood, and what we can do to shift out of survival mode. They unpack the pressure moms feel to “do it all” and how that mindset can leave us stuck in a cycle of exhaustion, resentment, and disconnected from ourselves. Scottie shares how having small, intentional moments of awareness can help moms reconnect with ourselves. She gives us the tools we need, like tuning into our body's signals to setting boundaries within our families, and remembering that our kids' experiences aren't tied to our self-worth. This is the kind of episode that truly feels like a deep breath. If you've ever felt like you're constantly pouring from an empty cup, Scottie gives us the reminder that we don't have to wait for permission to take care of ourselves. It's time to let go of the myth that we have to be the “perfect mom” and start embracing the real and present version of ourselves. Here's what you can look forward to in this episode: The belief that we as moms have to always be busy Breaking the cycle of mommy martyrdom and fostering independence in our children Using busyness as a mask for discontentment and the dopamine hit of productivity Reframing rest as a tool and not a guilty pleasure The negative impact of tying our self-worth to our children's achievements and experiences Reflecting on your own happiness, independent of your children's performance Having small daily check-ins with your body Calling Her In: 10 Soulful Journaling Prompts to Connect with your Future Self Join the waitlist for the next round of Season to Shift starting Fall 2025 Connect with Whitney: Instagram l Website l 5 Days to Less Stress, More Satisfaction l Tend to Your Soul Toolkit l Electric Ideas Podcast Connect with Scottie: Instagram | Website | Momplex Podcast

Edenic Covenant G'day and welcome to Partake! We are now on day 2 of our series "Glimpses", looking at the story of the Bible in 30 days, from the time of creation through to the time of the fullness of redemption! Genesis 1v27-31 So God created human beings in his own image.In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Then God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground." Then God said, "Look! I have given you every seed-bearing plant throughout the earth and all the fruit trees for your food. And I have given every green plant as food for all the wild animals, the birds in the sky, and the small animals that scurry along the ground-everything that has life." And that is what happened. Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good! And evening passed and morning came, marking the sixth day. Genesis 2v15-17. The Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it. But the Lord God warned him, "You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden- except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit, you are sure to die." Irenaeus, one of the Church Fathers, said this about humanity being made in the image of God: "The image was the human's natural resemblance to God, the power of reason and will. The likeness was a divine gift added to basic human nature. This likeness consisted of the moral qualities of God, whereas the image involved the natural attributes of God." Origen, another of the Church Fathers, goes further and commenting on Genesis 1v26-27, says "In v26, while the word ‘image' is repeated in v27, the word ‘likeness' is not. This indicates that in his first creation man received the dignity of the image of God, but fulfilment of the likeness is reserved for the final consummation, that is, the he himself should obtain it by his own effort, through the imitation of God. The possibility of perfection given to him at the beginning by the dignity of the image, and then in the end, through the fulfilment of his works, should bring to perfect consummation the likeness of God." God spoke with His creation and gave what is the first covenant between God and humanity. Humanity is commanded in this Edenic Covenant to: Populate the earth (Genesis 1v28) Subjugate the earth (Genesis 1v28) Exercise dominion over animals (Genesis 1v28) Tend and enjoy the garden of Eden (Genesis 1v29; 2v15) Refrain from eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2v16-17). So in essence, humanity, being the pinnacle of God's creation, was to populate the planet, enjoy all of creation and to exercise concern and care over it: the environment, animals, plants etc. One thing they were not to do was to eat "the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil." Yet some time after they did do just that! When they ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the Edenic Covenant was terminated, because they had broken their side of the Covenant. The consequence of this resulted in their spiritual and physical deaths. This failure, required God to make a new covenant with Adam and we will look at that next time!

July is asking us to come home—to the land, to our bodies, to our feelings, and to what truly matters. With water and earth guiding the way, this month is about grounding like your life depends on it (because it kind of does). Emotions are high, the cosmos are chaotic, and Uranus is stirring up your nervous system in a big way. But within the mess lies the medicine. This forecast invites you to deepen your emotional intelligence, rewire your relationship with self-worth, and choose presence over performance. It's a month for tending—to your bonds, your bones, and your body—with grace, curiosity, and a whole lot of earth energy.Priority Takeaways:Ground in your body daily—don't just process emotions, feel them.Tend to your bonds—let go of outdated expectations and allow others to surprise you.Nervous system regulation is non-negotiable—Uranus in Gemini = mental chaos.Notice your desire to “figure it out” and instead lean into curiosity.Full Moon in Capricorn (July 10): Take radical responsibility and build new internal structures.Leo Season begins July 22: Let joy, play, and creative self-expression lead the way.Leo New Moon (July 24): Rebirth yourself—even if the collective doesn't quite get it.End of the month = wild card: Can you loosen your grip and let life surprise you?Send us a message and let us know what you love about this episodeImportant Links: www.Megthompson.com Attuned - CLICK HERE Let's Connect on Instagram - CLICK HERE

I'm experimenting with Substack's Video feature. I'm not sure how this will look, appear, or even sound, but giving it a go. Below I include an outline of the video:Outline1. The Familiar Cascade* Many organizations use a hierarchical model: Pillars → Priorities → Initiatives → Epics → Tasks* Timeframes are often assigned at each level (e.g., 3–5 years at the top, sprints at the bottom)* Roles and ownership are mapped accordingly, from executive leadership down to product teams* These models persist because they're intuitive, visual, and create a sense of order2. Core Limitations of the Pyramid* Assumes one-way flow of informationThe model suggests strategy flows down, but in reality, critical insights flow up from teams engaging with customers and the market* Outcomes are often missing or impliedThere's no explicit representation of impact or results, even though that's what ultimately matters* Ignores time-to-impact variabilitySome tasks can generate impact in a week; some initiatives take years. The model fails to show these lags and feedback loops* Pushes teams into execution rolesAs you move down the pyramid, the framing becomes increasingly prescriptive. Teams are expected to deliver “work” without clear problem framing or strategic ownership* Misrepresents the scope and nature of workHigh-impact short-term efforts may not “fit” in the hierarchy, creating friction. It also disincentivizes small, iterative wins3. Temporal Scope and Organizational Culture* Comparing two fictional organizations reveals differences:* Org A's goals are outcome-driven across time horizons (e.g., 1–3 month engagement goals, 3–5 year market positioning)* Org B's goals are more output-focused and vague at longer horizons* Ownership of goals varies by company—some give product teams ownership up to the one-to-three quarter range, others do not* The same pyramid diagram can reflect entirely different behaviors depending on definitions, ownership, and cultural orientation toward outcomes vs. activity4. The Need for Multiple Lenses* The pyramid presents a single, strategy-to-task lens, but organizations operate with multiple overlapping views:* Outcome lens – focused on impact and customer results* Work lens – focused on deliverables and execution* Finance lens – focused on costs, forecasting, and ROI* Structure lens – focused on organizational shifts, team structure, and ownership* Each lens has its own rhythm, scope, and patterns of change* These lenses intersect in complex ways that a static pyramid cannot represent5. Real Work Behaves More Like a Fabric Than a Cascade* Work, strategy, and feedback move in all directions—not just top-down* Many artifacts and processes exist at mid-levels of abstraction, not neatly tiered* A more accurate model is a fabric or network of interconnected items with varying temporal scopes and ownership* Strategic influence can originate anywhere, and changes at any level can ripple across the system6. Introducing Artifact Types and Their CadenceTo support this networked reality, artifacts should be understood in terms of their nature and rhythm:* Anchor Artifacts* Have a defined time horizon (e.g., a 12-month roadmap)* Refreshed on a set cadence (e.g., quarterly planning cycles)* Useful for stability and coordination* Intent Artifacts* Represent bets, goals, OKRs, and strategic initiatives* Tend to evolve as work progresses and understanding deepens* Often nested or linked to other artifacts dynamically* Context Artifacts* Reflect shifting knowledge and environmental signals* Can be volatile (e.g., customer feedback) or stable (e.g., competitive analysis)* Drive updates to other artifact types when significant changes occur7. The Role of Rituals* Artifacts don't stand alone—they are reinforced and refreshed through team and organizational rituals* Effective operating systems clarify:* Which artifacts exist* Who owns them* When and how they are updated* How they relate to each other across different lenses and timeframes* Rituals also provide the opportunity to resolve contradictions and adapt to change8. Final Synthesis* The strategy pyramid is a helpful storytelling tool, especially for presentations or executive alignment* But it is insufficient for designing actual operating models* Effective models recognize:* Multiple lenses (not just one)* Temporal and definitional complexity* The need for dynamic linkages, not static nesting* The interplay of strategy, execution, finance, structure, and learning* Building an effective system means embracing this complexity and supporting it with the right artifacts and rhythms—not oversimplifying it into a cascade Get full access to The Beautiful Mess at cutlefish.substack.com/subscribe

Have you got a history of partnering with women who are physically or emotionally unstable? Maybe they've got an insecure living situation (or chaotic/dangerous ex-partner). Perhaps they're financially challenged, or they've got serious issues with depression, anxiety, or other mental health issues.You may even have been with a partner who became so emotionally dependent on you that you became concerned that if you weren't there, she'd be in serious trouble -- might even hurt or kill herself. As Jason puts it, "If I remove myself from the situation, I don't know how my partner would survive."This episode is actually not about those women! ;) This episode is about the other side -- you.If you've wondered why you've repeated this pattern of attracting "projects," you've come to the right place. Here we break down what goes into the pattern of attracting women you feel you need to "save" or "rescue." We talk about the vulnerability involved in dating healthier women, as well as the immense payoff -- and how to get there.This episode will also resonate if you've ever felt burdened or resentful in your relationship -- like you're doing way more than your partner, and putting in more than you're getting back. We talk about the pain of feeling used ... and what to do about it.---Work with usWant to go deeper than the podcast? Jason and I are ready to work with you!

Every woman feels stuck or stagnant at some point in her life. Many years ago, Whitney quit her glossy but taxing job at a creative agency to focus more on motherhood and keep a toe in the professional waters with freelance work. She thought this dramatic change would rinse away all the stress and confusion she'd encountered while establishing her equilibrium as a mom who also desired professional and creative expansion. But after leaving her company with the hope of a blissfully balanced life, she felt more confused than ever. She was deeply relieved to release the pressure of her previous job and have more time with her girls, yet mourned adult conversations that went beyond what vegetables everyone's kids were eating. She also missed the energy of collaboration and being in a creative environment. For a long time, she marinated in a feeling of being stuck in the murky middle - of closing the door on a major part of her identity but not quite yet stepping into the next version of herself she craved. When a mentor asked Whitney a pivotal question, she was finally able to start making changes in her life that invited in momentum and flow again. Listen to today's episode to hear about this important reflection and learn how to move past feeling stuck and stagnant in your life.

Click here to send me a quick message :) We're all navigating so much right now. Collectively, relationally, personally.This week's episode explores three different frames for understanding and tending your nervous system when it's stretched, strained, burnt out or plain dysregulated.In addition to the collective unrest so many of us are feeling, this week I learned about the loss of John Gallagher (founder of Learning Herbs).What has struck me most about the loss (aside from honoring his immense legacy in modern herbalism) was that he was struggling. With insomnia, anxiety, and depression.And that the current political climate, including the potential for immense ecological loss, was part of what may have tipped his mental health struggles over the edge. It's just so big, all of it. And so many of us are feeling it.And whatever we're struggling with - collectively, relationally, personally - we're all navigating something right now. I want to acknowledge that, rather than gloss over it, and offer some resources and tools that may perhaps be useful for you in these tumultuous times. We all have to find our way, and we don't have to do it alone. Which reminds me of Alexandra Blakely's song:"you do not carry this all aloneno you do not carry this all alonethis is way too big for youto carry this on your ownso, you do not carry this all alone"It's not a song, or an herb, or a practice that will heal us. It's a collective practice that is ongoing.But if you're interested in some powerful ways to tend your nervous system in these times, listen to the wisdom from Efan Hsieh, Kristen Timchak and myself in this week's medley episode for some inspiration.** dedicating this episode to the memory of John Gallagher **Resources:Grab the free guide: Track your cycle with FAM (and symptom tracking)Today's shownotes: 3 paths to nervous system tending in tumultuous timesEpisode 41: How nature connection can calm burnout w Efan HsiehEpisode 50: Adaptogens + hormonal healthEpisode 97: Nourish your nervous system with Ayurveda w Kristen TimchakIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdomAnd if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

Ilko ist Historiker und Autor und hat seinen Schwerpunkt in der Aufarbeitung der SED-Diktatur und der DDR-Vergangenheit. Er selbst wuchs in einer DDR-staatstreuen Familie auf und war Mitglied der Freien Deutschen Jugend, der FDJ. Als er 15 Jahre alt war, brach er allerdings mit der DDR und seinem Elternhaus. 2024 erschien sein Buch “Freiheitsschock. Eine andere Geschichte Ostdeutschlands von 1989 bis heute”, das ich kürzlich gelesen habe. Ich wollte von Ilko-Sascha wissen, wie seine persönliche Geschichte im Verhältnis zur Geschichte der Wiedervereinigung zu betrachten ist, warum er so wütend ist, welche Lehren er aus seiner Vergangenheit zieht und was für ihn persönlich der “Freiheitsschock” gewesen ist. Wir sprechen über Widerspruch und Opposition, Faschismus, totalitäre Ideen und sozialpolitische Brenngläser unserer Nation. Außerdem geht es um das Nicht-Vergessen, um Freiheit und Transformation.

When you pay attention to something, and you invest time to nurture it, it prospers! If you tend to a tree, it bears fruit, right? But in contrast… When something is abandoned and neglected, it decays, and it becomes a deplorable sight to look at…especially to the one who is responsible— the one who was supposed to tend it. The Lord will care for you if you let Him. So, let Him! Ask God to come and draw you close to Himself. Ask Him to tend you and help you flourish like a well-tended tree so that you will bear fruit. He's ready to do it, and He longs to do it— to take care of you. But He's not invasive. The choice is yours to make. Will you choose today once and for all the abundant life that God has for you? Always remember, there is hope with God. I'm Andrew Palau. "As workers who tend a fig tree are allowed to eat the fruit, so workers who protect their employer's interests will be rewarded."

Where are you keeping yourself small, and what might change if you stopped? In this honest conversation, Whitney sits down with Lisa Marchiano, Jungian analyst and author of The Vital Spark, to talk about the parts of ourselves we've been taught to keep quiet. Lisa shares insights about the “outlaw” energies that live inside every woman that often get buried under a lifetime of trying to be nice, agreeable, and accommodating. Lisa explores what it means to reconnect with our full selves. She offers a refreshing perspective on how embracing traits like assertiveness and self-authority isn't selfish, but necessary. Lisa also touches on how these patterns show up in parenting, and how we can raise the next generation to honor their truth instead of shrinking to fit in. This episode is an invitation to stop shrinking and start expanding into the fullness of who you are. Here's what you can look forward to in this episode: Embracing assertiveness and authority Navigating anger and resentment Reclaiming the trickster energy The importance of being disagreeable Reflection question to ponder: Where am I keeping myself small? **Calling Her In: **10 Soulful Journaling Prompts to Connect with your Future Self Join the waitlist for the next round of Season to Shift starting Fall 2025 Connect with Whitney: Instagram l Website l 5 Days to Less Stress, More Satisfaction l Tend to Your Soul Toolkit l Electric Ideas Podcast Connect with Lisa: Instagram | Website | Book: The Vital Spark | Podcast
C dans l'air du 12 juin 2025 - De New York à L.A... la colère anti-Trump s'étendChicago, Atlanta, New York… les émeutes qui ont commencé vendredi à Los Angeles pour s'opposer aux raids de la police de l'immigration (ICE) contre les immigrés clandestins, s'étendent au reste des Etats-Unis. Dans l'état de Washington où plusieurs manifestations ont éclaté, la ville de Spoklane a instauré un couvre-feu de mercredi à jeudi, suivant la mesure décrétée par la maire de Los Angeles Karen Bass, mardi. Avec le gouverneur de la Californie Gavin Newsom, ils sont les deux têtes de gondole du mouvement d'opposition à Donald Trump. Le président américain, qui a envoyé dans un premier temps la garde républicaine, puis 700 marines pour réprimer les émeutes, contre l'avis du gouverneur californien, les accuse désormais d'avoir payé des fauteurs de trouble et insurgés et de "faciliter l'occupation de la ville par des envahisseurs criminels". De son côté la maire a dénoncé l'escalade entretenue par la Maison Blanche : "Quand vous faites des descentes sur des lieux de travail, quand vous séparez parents et enfants et quand vous faites circuler des caravanes blindées dans nos rues, vous provoquez la peur et la panique".Face à un Donald Trump qui n'entend pas changer de cap, un homme s'est porté candidat pour mener la révolte. À 57 ans, le gouverneur de la Californie Gavin Newsom a prononcé mardi un vibrant discours contre la politique de Donald Trump qui détruit, selon lui, la démocratie et l'état de droit : "Ce que nous voyons n'a pas trait à l'application de la loi – il s'agit d'autoritarisme, a-t-il déclaré. La Californie est peut-être la première. Mais ce ne sera pas la dernière. D'autres États suivront. La démocratie est la prochaine cible." Si le nom de Gavin Newsom circule désormais comme une candidature crédible pour la présidentielle 2028, les Américains le connaissaient déjà. Cet ancien homme d'affaires avait notamment débattu à la télévision avec le gouverneur républicain Ron DeSantis lors de la primaire républicaine, en 2023. Lors des gigantesques incendies qui avaient ravagé la Californie début 2025, Donald Trump avait lancé les hostilités en le qualifiant d'"incompétent". Leurs relations se sont ensuite envenimées. En avril, lors de l'annonce des droits de douane américains, la Californie est devenue le premier État américain à contester la décision en justice. Considéré comme modéré dans son camp, Newsom pourrait bien devenir le prochain leader du camp démocrate.Pendant que les immigrés découvrent la violence de la politique de Donald Trump, d'autres minorités voient leurs droits rétrécir à vue d'œil, à l'image des personnes transgenres. "À partir d'aujourd'hui, la politique officielle du gouvernement des États-Unis sera de dire qu'il n'y a que deux sexes, masculin et féminin", avait prévenu le président républicain lors de son investiture. Quelques semaines plus tard, ce détracteur du "wokisme" signait un décret excluant les femmes transgenres des catégories sportives féminines et un autre coupant les financements publics aux hôpitaux qui proposent des traitements de transition de genre aux moins de 19 ans. Près d'une trentaine d'États interdisent aujourd'hui ce type de soins. Dans un rapport publié début juin, l'ONG Human Rights watch s'est dite inquiète que ces lois "causent [aux personnes LTBT+] de graves préjudices, ainsi qu'à leurs familles". Depuis plusieurs jours, des marches des fiertés s'exercent un peu partout dans un climat tendu, certaines entreprises ont même retiré leurs sponsors.Les émeutes de Los Angeles peuvent-elles aboutir à un mouvement national ?

Pastoral Reflections Finding God In Ourselves by Msgr. Don Fischer
Gospel John 21:15-19 After Jesus had revealed himself to his disciples and eaten breakfast with them, he said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” Simon Peter answered him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my lambs.” He then said to Simon Peter a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Simon Peter answered him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.” He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was distressed that he had said to him a third time, “Do you love me?” and he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep. Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to dress yourself and go where you wanted; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” He said this signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.” Reflection It seems clear that Jesus is asking Peter three times because shortly before this moment, he had denied Jesus three times. But that's not the essence of what this scripture wants us to see. It's simply this, all of us are called to be disciples. All of us are called to be like the apostles. And he says three things to Peter; feed my lambs, tend my sheep, feed my sheep. Why, why different? Feed my lambs. Lambs are babies, so it's like feed those who need careful care and don't expect much. And then as they get older, tend them. Be with them. Watch them. Encourage them. And then the final is feed them. And feeding is such an interesting image because it's related so much to the Eucharist and to our taking God in the presence of Jesus and the Holy Spirit into our hearts. We are truly cared for. Closing Prayer Father, help us to realize that we all share in the same ministry that Jesus is so powerfully revealing to us. We have the father within us. Our personality, our way of being, our presence can resonate His love. Give us the hope and the joy that that realization brings. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.

Read Online“Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to dress yourself and go where you wanted; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” He said this signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.” John 21:18–19On this, the third time that Jesus appeared to His disciples, Jesus enters into a threefold discourse with Peter. Each time that Jesus asks Peter if he loves Him, Peter responds that he does. And Jesus responds back each time, “Feed my lambs,” “Tend my sheep,” and “Feed my sheep.” The passage quoted above concludes Jesus' discourse with Peter using very powerful language. Jesus tells Peter that when he grows old, “someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” This was Jesus' way of saying to Peter that he would ultimately express his love of Jesus by dying for Him. As we know, tradition states that Peter was ultimately crucified. And at Peter's request, he was crucified upside down because he felt unworthy of dying in the exact same way Jesus died.As we consider this conversation between Jesus and Peter, it is clear that Jesus' understanding of love is very different from the way many others understand it today. Jesus was not only telling Peter that he would die for Jesus, but Jesus was clearly offering His approval of this act of love Peter would one day offer. Most often when we love someone, we would do all we can to keep them from any such fate. In fact, when a loved one suffers, we often will do all we can to look for a way to relieve them of that suffering. So which approach is most loving?Clearly, Jesus sees suffering differently than most of us. For Jesus, suffering is not opposed to love when the suffering is freely embraced for a higher purpose. Suffering in and of itself is of no value. But when suffering is embraced sacrificially out of love for another, it is able to take on tremendous power. And when Jesus offered His clear support to Peter who would one day die out of love for Jesus, Jesus was focusing upon the eternal merit that would be won by Peter's cross. The fact that Jesus did not shy away from Peter's future sacrificial suffering is one of the clearest signs of Jesus' more perfect love for Peter. Reflect, today, upon your attitude toward the sufferings that your loved ones endure. Do you find that your primary goal is to rid them of their sufferings? Or do you understand that even their sufferings have the potential to become a source of their own holiness and the source of grace for others? Strive to see suffering as Jesus sees it. Look at the sacrificial love that is made possible when your loved ones unite their sufferings to the Cross of Christ and try to commit yourself to the mission of helping them embrace that sacred gift of love. My most compassionate Jesus, in Your great love for us all, You desire that we unite our sufferings to Your Cross so that all suffering shares in Your redemptive love. Give me the grace I need to not only embrace my own sufferings in life out of love for You but to also help those whom I love to live sacrificially by embracing the crosses they carry out of love.
