Inquisition

[zyzyly]

At 2:10 pm I walked into a room and sat down before a panel consisting of a priest, a theologan and a deacon. They asked me questions and I answered them. This was my academic and pastoral evaluation--the culmination of five years of study for the permanent diaconate. It lasted for about an hour, and I was done.

I am so glad it's over. My brain hurts.

So when do you find out and, just as importnatly. when do you decide?

I'm not sure at what point I have to make a final decision, only that it is some time before June 5th. There are still some thngs we need to do, such as meet with the bishop, before we are officially "asked".

I'm not anxious to make a decision. It is like standing in a room with a number of closed doors, and having to decide which one to walk through without really knowing what is on the other side.

Oh, what a relief it is. I've never liked auditions of any sort - where so much is riding on what has to be condensed and served in a teaspoon.

I remember when I went through a similar Inquisition many years ago. At one point, I felt like I was sitting on the sidelines listening to this idiot spouting off answers. I kept thinking "What is he talking about?" -- the whole experience was surreal. But eventually my divided self re-grouped and I was able to speak from the heart and talk to them like a human being. I passed, but eventually decided to pursue a different path.

Congratulations on passing this milestone -- your brain will recover. But fasten your seatbelt and take a deep breath before you get to the for the ones to come.
