:bible1:
First Don’t let yourselves be tricked into an inferiority complex.
Second Don’t let divisions take root.
ThirdDon’t get trapped by partisan politics. But also don’t undervalue the importance of politics.
Fourth Don’t create or accept false oppositions.
Fifth Don’t hate the adversary.
Sixth and Final Don’t let your adversaries set the agenda
:bible1:
First and most important Do. It’s very simple:Do become martyrs. I said it was simple. I didn’t say itwas easy. Be ready to pay a price.
SecondDo keep hope alive.
Third Do be strategic.
Fourth Do use the best means to deliver your message; especially –but not limited to – the new technologies. *
Fifth and final Do remember that renewing the culture, not gaining power, is our ultimate goal. Culture is everything. *
:bible1:
"Your commitment** to human life matters** eternally**. Some lives will only be lived because your voice made those lives possible So no matter** how tired you get**; no matter how hard the work becomes; no matter who praises you or who condemns you; the only thing that** finally** matters is this: Jesus Christ is Lord. He came to** give us life** and** life abundantly**. God is good; and he never abandons his people. And** because of his love** – and** because of the witness of people like you** – the future is ours. And the best is yet to come."
God Bless Archbishop Chuput.
