What you do matters — but not much. What you are matters tremendously. - Catherine Doherty

Everybody in this pragmatic, cerebral society always wants to put himself first, and this cannot be done. God doesn't want me to do it. God wants me to be third, never first. God comes first, my neighbor second, and I am third!

Must the Church conform to the world and its modern ideas in order to be understood and heard? Much depends on the clarification of the word "conform." The answer is "yes" if by conform is meant change and adaptation in order to express eternal truths in a way more understandable to modern man.

God reveals himself to those who wait for that revelation and who don't try to "tear at the hem of a mystery" forcing disclosure.
