Quote Of The Week

Each week I will choose a spiritual and inspiring quote and publish it in this section.  I will also add a comment on why I think it is a good quote.  If you have any suggestions please pass them along to me.  I hope you enjoy this feature.

Really living like Christ will not mean reward, social recognition, and an assured income, but difficulties, discrimination, solitude, anxiety. Here, too, the basic experience of the cross applies: the wider we open our hearts to others, the more audibly we intervene against the injustice that rules over us, the more difficult our lives in the rich unjust society will become.

I like this quote because it is a powerful truth.  I once knew a Priest, an adult convert, who said, "What on earth was I thinking when I decided to become a Christian"?  Really following Christ has it's rewards to be sure, but it is not an easy journey.  According to the United Nations more that 10,000 children die each day in the world because of hunger.  That is preventable.  What are we, as Christians, really doing about that?
