Life to me is not a thing to waste words on, provided that when I finish my race I have carried out the mission the Lord Jesus gave me, and that was to bear witness to the Good News of God's grace.
The words of a true apostle or'sent one'. How it stirs the heart of those who would aspire to follow him as he did Christ in going outside the camp and bearing the shame among the sinners.
Let us, then, go to him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore. For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.
Christ is Everything. He is joy, He is life, He is light. He is the true light who makes man joyful, makes him soar with happiness; makes him see everything, everybody; makes him feel for everyone, to want everyone with him, everyone with Christ.
Where there is no love, there is no Church. There remains only its external form, a deceit, which repulses people. That is why our churches remain empty, that is why our young people lapse. Lord, help us to become Your Church, not just its appearance.
