Think about it

"You are deceived if you think that a Christian can live without persecution. He suffers the greatest who lives under none. Nothing is more to be feared than too long a peace. A storm puts a man upon his guard, and obliges him to exert his utmost efforts to escape shipwreck." St. Jerome



When Christ said asked Peter if he loved Him, and receiving an affirmative answer, He told him to feed His lambs, meaning us. When He said to feed His sheep, He was referring to the older, wiser members, which are the clergy of the Church. Later on, he says to be aware of wolves in sheep's clothing. Do you think He was talking the problems in the Church these days?

One time I confronted the pastor of our parish, and told him that the truth didn't seem to be in him, and that we would be going elsewhere. He just shrugged. I proceeded to tell that I thought that Judas was a better person than he, his eyes just about bugged out of his head. "How so?', says he, to which I replied, "At least he admitted that he betrayed innocent blood".

God, please forgive me, but some times it's hard to bite your tongue, and you need to speak out to those in error.
