Great article!!! A sentence in one of the last paragraphs "The question , "will Christ find faith on the earth" means that we must have the discernment to recognize evil and seek to over come it" ,asks a very important question, one we must think about often. As always we need to start with our self, we can't ask of another what we don't impose on our self. However, it doesn't stop there. We are just one spoke and sometimes cog in the wheel. Paul stressed praying for all our leaders secular and religious. As our leaders, God does speak to and through them, but only when they open their hearts and listen. They are human too, and badly need our prayers. If we are only grumbling about the way some of our leaders play footsie with evil , the world and the devil, then with them we are also part of the problem! We should seek the grace to pray for them from our hearts. As Bishop Barron is fond of saying, "love is seeking the good of another". If we seek their good because they are a child of God, and He loves them, then we wiil reap good for us all!
Great piece, Jonathon. By the way, I was thinking about this image this morning, and wondering how to find it. Thanks!
