Satisfying Christ Leads Us to Our Heart’s Desire

At the January “Fellowship of Catholic University Students” conference (FOCUS) in Dallas, Texas, Joe Hesler gave a powerful keynote to 3,300 students. Although he was not a gifted presenter, his message was riveting. Joe came to the realization that he was a cultural Christian that is, just going through the motions of mass attendance, but nothing more. He was confronted by not being a real “follower” of Christ. He framed this by saying that he lived his life to suit or satisfy himself over the desire to suit and satisfy Christ. When he began being centered on Christ, the course of his faith life changed and he started living his faith.
The first step led him to take theology courses at night. Later he became an adjunct professor at the seminary. The second step was to join the FOCUS staff where he continues the path of satisfying the desires of Christ. While this FOCUS position is a huge pay cut from his former managerial position, he is content with his faith journey.
From our baptism, we can draw the grace that makes us radical followers of Christ which leads us to find our hearts desire.
