In previous installments in this three-part series, we've looked at Robert Barron's discussions of the first two "paths" he identifies in Christian spirituality: of "finding the center," and recognizing that we are both sinful and redeemed by Christ.

In this third installment, we look at the third and final of these paths: of "recognizing that your life is not about you." Barron proposes that each person is called upon and "sent" to play a certain specific role in what is finally a "cosmic" drama - a drama in which we ourselves are not the main protagonists. Learning to live out of this awareness is the substance of this third path Barron identifies.
