There is a part of the self that gets renewed by doing nothing. Just sit and do nothing. It can be very sweet if you let it. This is a part of you that is not about mind, thinking, muscles, exercise, but about doing nothing but sitting somewhere pleasant. Quiet and still. Something in us needs this to be renewed. Let go of the shame, guilt or fear about “not accomplishing” something. You are accomplishing something or it is being accomplished by your not doing anything. And if you learn to enjoy it, then you have accomplished something.
The homilies and musings of a Paulist Priest.

I sincerely hope your mission thrives. The Church these days seems overly intent on preaching politics and battering its members with ultimatums and threats instead of focusing on the messages of love, forgiveness and daily sacrifice that convert followers from the inside out and are therefore more effective in the long run!
