Our spiritual reflection leads us to action. Our actions call us to reflect spiritually upon the things we have done ...
We've
forgotten that a rich life consists fundamentally of serving others,
trying to leave the world a little better than you found it. We need
the courage to question the powers that be, the courage to be
impatient with evil and patient with people, the courage to fight for
social justice. In many instances we will be stepping out on nothing,
and just hoping to land on something. But that's the struggle. To
live is to wrestle with despair, yet never allow despair to have the
last word.
