Proclaim The Radical Nature of the Gospel

When we see a scarcity of priests, sisters, brothers, lay ministers or parishioners, the answer to the problem is not to compromise and call for less commitment.  Instead, the solution is to proclaim the radical nature of the gospel and pray more intensely for workers to obey God’s call.

(From One Bread, One Body, September 30, 1999)

  1. Yes. People will accept low standards, but people are not motivated by low standards.

But, Lord, It Is So Difficult

(Image Source- Wikimedia Commons) Jesus warned that sometimes His teachings would bring conflict to those who accepted and lived them (Luke 12: 49-53)…being true to the Gospel means I will have to stand up for what I believe even if it causes division among those with whom I live and work.   Jesus, do not let my distaste for conflict keep me from supporting and living Your profound teachings.   One Bread, One Body

Let Us Adore Him!

Let us adore Jesus in our hearts, who spent 30 years out of 33 in silence; who began His public life by spending 40 days in silence; who often retired alone to spend the night on a mountain in silence.  He, who spoke with authority, now spends His earthly life in silence.  Let us adore Jesus in the Eucharistic silence.  (Blessed Teresa of Calcutta)
