Another one, this time from a visiting priest. He is a friend of my pastor and was visiting from Europe. He was telling a story about a retired priest in a small village in Europe. This priest was constantly at odds with the mayor of the village, who did not want the priests many programs outreach to the marginalized in her village. Their fights were public and, apparently, legendary.
A local journalist was interviewing the priest for a story about his outtreach programs. The priest was talking about the need to love our neighbor and how his programs are a way to show Christ’s love to the drunk, the drug addicts, the homeless, Etc. He went on and on about how we are required to love everybody, not just those who make us comfortable. The reporter asked him, “What about the mayor? Do you love her?” The priest chuckled and ruefully answered, " I am in the school of love. Sometimes I get really bad grades, but I haven’t been kicked out yet. I think I’m going to be in school for a very long time, but if I don’t get expelled, I’m still learning."
