Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz and this is Ascension Presents.

So when it comes to decision making, I think it's important to realize that as Catholic Christians,

we're not alone.

You don't have to try to figure out how do you make decisions on your own because there

have been a lot of really, really wise people who have come before you that have a lot of

really great wise wisdom to help you to make wise decisions.

Number one, you can ask the question.

You can ask the question, what would the best version of me do?

Right?

So what would the most faithful version of me do in this moment?

Like what would the, I'll know the way to ask it is, what's the freest version?

What would the freest version of me do in this moment?

You're faced with a decision, faced with a dilemma and a lot of times we can say like,

I don't know if I can, but if you are free, what would you choose?

Another way to say it is, if I was Christ living today as I am in me, as me, what would

I choose?

It's kind of the classic, what would Jesus do?

But I just used more letters to explain it because chances are you are freer than you

think.

Those are some hopefully clarifying questions.

But if you still don't know, of course we can, you ask the Holy Spirit to guide us and

help us.
