"After spending hours trying to create the assigned airplane landing gear mechanism, the engineering student believes that his Computer Aided-Design model is nearly complete, save for some finishing touches. He heads into class fairly confident - until his attempt to make one of the final connections between parts fails. Anxiety creeps into the student's mind as he nervously raises his hand. The TA comes over, inspects the model with a few clicks, and says the words the student had been dreading since he began his efforts: 'I think you should just start over.'
"The anguish felt by this student is
shared by anyone who, after working hard at a task, discovers that any
further efforts to remedy the situation would be futile and that the
only way to progress would be to abandon the attempt and start from
scratch. . . ."
In a recent commentary, Brother Patrick Bubel, O.P.,
reflected on the grace of God that transforms us into a new creation.
