Contradictories
Contradictories

In so many of our normal conversations we play it safe because we’re scared of being rejected and judged. We’re reluctant to become more honest and so more vulnerable, because we’ve been scorned when we did so in the past. But sometimes when we take a courageous step, and reveal ourselves in a more real way, something new can be born, the kind of trust that changes us. That transformation through trust gives us a sense of what faith involves. Faith means going beyond our own hesitations and tentativeness in order to embark on a journey of trust.

CROSSROADS THE LIFE & THOUGHT OF
MICHAEL PAUL GALLAGHER SJ, THOMAS G. CASEY SJ

At the beginning of the new millennium, he was giving a summer course in New York’s Fordham University, and living in a room in the Jesuit community on campus. One day he stepped into the elevator that would take him from the basement to the third floor. He pushed the ‘3’ button, the doors closed, but the elevator didn’t move. He tried again, and again nothing happened. Button ‘2’ didn’t work either. Feeling a mounting sense of panic, Michael Paul was about to press the alarm bell, but decided first to try the final button, button ‘4’. To his immense relief, the elevator clicked into motion and brought him to the fourth storey, from where he walked down to the floor below. Later, as he recounted this incident at dinner, his companions looked at him in surprise and said, ‘Don’t you have the key?’ Taking out his bunch of keys, he noticed for the first time a tiny key on the keyring. It was the key he needed to gain access to the community floors. He was in possession of the key, but didn’t know he had it.
