The great danger of the turmoil of the end
time in which we live is losing our souls.
Losing our souls means losing touch with our center, our true call in
life, our mission, our spiritual task. Losing our soul means becoming so
distracted by and preoccupied with all that is happening around us that we end
up fragmented, confused, and erratic.
Jesus is very aware of that danger.
He says, Take care
not to be deceived, because many will come using my name and saying, I am the one and The time is near at hand. Refuse
to join them (Luke 21:8).
In the midst of anxious times there are
many false prophets, promising all sorts of salvations. It is important that we be faithful disciples
of Jesus, never losing touch with our true spiritual selves.
--Henri Nouwen
