A Word To Our Shepherds about Betrayal

"The authority by which the Christian leader leads is not power but love, not force but example, not coercion but reasoned persuasion. Leaders have power, but power is safe only in the hands of those who humble themselves to serve."

In the culture that surrounds us, every person believes himself to be his own authority. In effect, this wide-spread belief means that no real authority exists. In our society there is a great need for clarity about the meaning and purpose of authority.... (www.catholic365.com)

We are one body in Christ. I don’t think we understand this yet. Until we do, we will live in a perpetual state of discord. The Mystical Body of Christ will heal when we understand and want the salvation of other people. Not in the sense that we want to control them, which comes from a spirit of... (www.catholic365.com)
