We have to learn how to properly deal with the rapid developments of our times. We should avoid getting stuck with some system that may have been effective sometime ago, but is now increasingly showing irrelevance or inability to cope with the new demands that the evolving times are presenting.
Let’s hope that we can manage to sort out all these new things judiciously so as to prepare and equip ourselves accordingly. By so doing, we hopefully can make the proper adjustments, changes and innovations that these new developments require without losing sight of what is truly and absolutely important to us.
More importantly, we should try to make the opportune decisions that would redound not only to the temporal good of everyone, but also to the spiritual and moral growth of everyone.
In the end what absolutely matters would be that our decisions to adjust, adapt, innovate, etc., would lead us to give greater glory to God and better service to the common good.
For all of this, we should try to make ourselves persons of sound judgment. And that means that we should learn how to integrate the material with the spiritual and supernatural dimensions of our, the here and now with the eternal destiny meant for us.
We have to insist on living out as best that we can our faith, hope and charity, guarding ourselves from relying mainly if not only on our human sciences and technologies. (Fr. Roy Cimagala)
