Now, At The End Of My Visit

You May Be Asking Yourselves, 'who Is This Man Standing Before Us?' I Would Like To Reply To That Question With Something Absolutely Certain About My Own Life: The Man Standing Before You Is A Man Who Has Been Forgiven. A Man Who Was, And Is, Saved From His Many Sins.

Such Self-denial 'may Appear Demanding,' But It Will Allow You, So To Speak, To Be And To Breathe Within The Heart Of The Church.

Let No One Consider Themselves To Be The 'armour' Of God While Planning And Carrying Out Acts Of Violence And Oppression!

We Must Not Believe The Evil One When He Tells Us That There Is Nothing We Can Do In The Face Of Violence, Injustice And Sin.

Holy Week Challenges Us To Step Outside Ourselves So As To Attend To The Needs Of Others: Those Who Long For A Sympathetic Ear, Those In Need Of Comfort Or Help. We Should Not Simply Remain In Our Own Secure World, That Of The Ninety-nine Sheep Who Never Strayed From The Fold, But We Should Go Out, With Christ, In Search Of The One Lost Sheep, However Far It May Have Wandered.
