When we cannot find meaning within ourself, then we begin to find meaning outside of ourself. We look to exercise, science, news, the digital world, activity, work, shopping. We might have some attraction for quiet but our restlessness will not allow it. The outer world calls for involvement. The inner world calls for detachment. Before you can surrender to detachment, you must surrender this restlessness to do, accomplish, gain, and the whole world of “More.”
The homilies and musings of a Paulist Priest.

From Stephanie Logan of Centennial, CO
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!
