Say Less, Do Less, Be More

5/9/2018

Some might say that Christians have too much to say. Others assert that Christians are long on talk but short on action; at least action that makes a positive difference in people's lives.

I would say that perhaps it is not that we need to say less, nor do more; rather it would be better that we are content just to BE.
  • be more reflective
  • be more patient
  • be more humble
  • be more kind
  • be more loving
  • be more forgiving
  • be more respectful
Perhaps we need to listen more too and hear better what others are saying, including through their body language. So the list of Christian 'be-ings' could grow.

With the modicum of wisdom that age offers me, I have become a more contemplative Christian. The list of aspirations above are the values that have grown more important to me as the years have molded me. If we were all able to better practise these virtues, I believe that not only would the Church be a better place; but our community would be too.

What do you think?

Terry - Priest in Charge
