Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam Remember the time of hunger
in the time of plenty, poverty and want in the day of wealth. Sirach 18:25
The world is a
joyful and
beautiful place,
that speaks of
the glory of God
and his love and
provident grace
for all people. We know there are risks and
challenges and there is much sin in the world, but
there is also redemption and faith and hope and
community. We all have two hands and a brain and the guidance of the Holy Spirit that can help
us find our way through challenges and risks. We can learn from the mistakes of the past and not
repeat them.
If we always do what we always do, we will always get what we always get. Thus, maybe the first step towards making this world a better place is to start doing some things differently, remembering more of the wisdom of our ancestors, being a little less attached to material things and the consumerist philosophy, looking towards simplicity, frugality, and prudence as virtues to be practiced daily so we will eventually get good at them. As we practice these virtues, we increase our temporal and spiritual abilities to cope with the wide variety of calamities that can afflict us in these last days of the 20th century. Economic chaos, war, the Millennium Bug, not to mention losing your job, earthquake, fire, tornado, and hurricane -- can turn riches into poverty in the blink of an eye.
These pages will help us be salt and leaven in our neighborhoods so
