Too Soft

"People are turning away from Christianity today not because it is too hard but because it is too soft." Ven. Fulton Sheen

We need a change. 

We need to work harder at striving to become better. 

I think of the saints and I aspire to live heroic lives like them. 

But they did not live softly, they chose the hard. 

People want more than mediocracy. 

They want to be challenged.

We want to be challenged.

And there is no challenge in living softly. 

"Do not pray for easy lives; pray to be stronger people." Bl. Fr. Solanus Casey

"Christianity is so much more than a profession of faith and the upkeep of buildings. It's about love. It's about loving our enemies, loving the poor, and loving our neighbor." 

33 Days to Greater Glory, Fr. Michael E. Gaitley
