Today the Church, both leaders and laity, as a whole has turned to politics, to our government and world leaders to fix our problems, to save us. We spend more time and energy on political solutions. Change this law, vote against proposed bad laws, and elect so and so to office. As citizens of a democracy, we should vote, use the right of free speech. However, we fixate on and look in the wrong places. We should look to God alone and proclaim and live His Gospel. In great love we should help our neighbors come to know the Lord. As Paul says proclaim Christ crucified and risen. As Jesus said love God above all else and your neighbor as your self. You are spot on Phillip. Thank you for your reflection!!
It's especially hard for someone like me,(with all I've got going against me)to live as a saint.Truthfully,there have been times I didn't think I was going to physically survive,and still may not!(Pray for me)
