Jesus
said, "Whoever shall
seek to save his life shall
lose it,
and whosoever shall lose his
life shall preserve it"
Luke
17:32-33
What is life and what its
purpose? If men and women
of this generation would
ask this question and look
for the answers the confusion
in their hearts and minds
and in society would begin
to cease. And until they
come to terms with the questions
and answers there is no
hope for their world. If
now all begin to seek to
ask the questions and come
to terms with the answers
they have still to accomplish
that which is involved by
the enlightenment, namely
the turning about of the
world in which they live.
Unless some such change
is brought about soon the
fabric of civilisation as
it has been known will crumble..
The social and political
world will crumble and the
people of many nations will
be as the victims of the
present holocaust in warring
and famine-ridden countries.
What can save us, Lord?
Only a radical metamorphosis
which is initiated by love
and rooted in the heart,
informed by the mind and
committed to by a selfless
will. But the change must
be grounded in Our loving
purpose, fed by Our prodigal
hands and guided by Our
all-embracing love.
