Your reflection hits Jesus’ point on a lot of levels. He tells us the same today. Lord, increase my charity, justice and fidelity, and kill my superficial spirituality.

Very clear reflection. Also thank you John (above) I never really thought about how allowing some of the things of this world (after all, a lot of it really doesn’t affect me directly) is NOT loving your neighbor. Thank you for seeing the camel in my house.

Meaning it’s safe to complain about littered sidewalks because they won’t get “cancelled” for it.

Unfortunately most people are like St. Peter, in that they lack courage to speak up for Godly Truths. Our lack of courage flys in the face of the second commandment (loving our neighbors as we love ourselves). We have to speak up to help save their souls.

Regardless of the personal consequences to ourselves we have been commissioned to spread the Good News of the gospel just as Jesus did. And we all know what happened to Jesus. Be strong and of good courage regardless of the earthly consequences.
