When a couple gets married in my church they never go to the cross or crucifix in the front of the church. They are not asking their God for the self-emptying that will be required to live a life-long marriage, the sacrifice required to make the marriage work. When I was ordained a priest I don’t recall going to the cross either. I was too full of myself from the ceremony and congratulations. I learned the hard slow way. But I am still here almost 50 years later. Grace is everywhere.
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!
