There is a spiritual evolution as well as a physical one. The spiritual evolution takes place in the short time of our physical life. What is it? As Jane Goodall says, we have to evolve from the ordinary, everyday humans, into saints or mini-saints. Well, that is a tall order. But just as physical evolution is slow, so is spiritual evolution. We may not even notice it developing, but it will if we have a daily spiritual practice and spiritual reading that helps direct our daily lives. Slowly, we move from being all about “me” into being for others without worrying about results or payback. There can be setbacks, as we aren’t perfect. But setbacks help us to stay humble.

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!
