M. Olesksa: “Saving Time”
Theology 105 A
August 27, 2014

During the reading I found it ironic when Olesksa went into detail about Chronos, this sense of meaningless period and that our days are numbered and will eventually end. It got me thinking about how I was spending my time reading information on time. Time inception, if that makes sense. It then had me thinking about how we spend our time.

We were kept in isolation from the rest of society and this offered us the time and space to better know ourselves and improve (or build) our personal relationship with God. The connection to Olesksa’s words and my experience on the retreat is that we kept hearing of this phrase, “Live the fourth”. It wasn’t until our last day when were taught that they were referring to the fourth day of Kairos, a time to celebrate our time on Kairos and spread the joy to others. This experience was definitely constructed from the origins of the word Kairos. In fact, “life becomes meaningful and distinctly human,
