Conversion, Renewal, Witness

From the ‘Happy Catholic’- not always happy, but always happy to be Catholic…

“We most truly serve the common good by having the courage to be disciples of Jesus Christ. God gave us a free will, but we need to use it. Discipleship has a cost. Jesus never said that we didn’t need a spine. The world doesn’t need affirmation. It needs conversion. It doesn’t need the approval of Christians. It needs their witness. And that work needs to begin with us.”

Through the Lenten season, I heard this message at our church in Allen. So when I read this yesterday before work, I was struck at not only running into this again, but how much I buy into it. It’s a good feeling to know what you want, have that in hand, and share it with others.
