The world needs you to be a saint.
Your family needs you to be a saint.
Your friends need you to be a saint.
God needs you to be a saint.
You need you to be a saint.
If we fail to become saints, it will be the biggest regret of our lives. Let us start (or begin again) right now!
"To the extent that we nourish ourselves on Christ and are in love with him, we feel within us the incentive to bring others to him: Indeed, we cannot keep the joy of the faith to ourselves; we must pass it on.”
-Pope Benedict XVI
Good to see Church leaders work on organizational health, communication, leadership, etc.
But, if we do that & stick with the same events, programs, classes, etc - without changing how you do pastoral ministry - then you are just more efficient and organized in the decline.
Three advice to Bishops: 1) Period of Christendom has long been over. We need to change the model of running a parish; 2) Find and invest in the 16% of priests who are on fire for the mission; 3) Change the structure of the diocese to support the mission. - @FJMallon#DR18
Fr. James Mallon on the question of moving priests every 4-6 years: “if the diocese were to hire a consulting group to come up with a plan to ensure that the organization would never reach their goals, this would be the strategy they would come up with.” #DR18
“There’s a difference between being a priest and being a pastor. A priest does priestly things. A pastor leads a movement where vision is carried out.” @ron_huntley#DR18
