Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.

These are the days when the Christian is expected to praise every creed except his own.

Jesus was always realistic during His earthly life. So it’s no surprise that He says to His Apostles, “I am sending you like sheep in the midst of wolves”. His words were true in the first century, and are so also today.... (www.catholic365.com)
