He reigns in heaven. He sends out missionaries of divine love. Missionaries of His triumph over evil, ignorance, and death. Consecrated Christians who greet every person and every moment with the open Heart of Jesus Christ.
This is “the Church.” The Lord built His Church on a rock—that is, St. Peter, missionary apostle of Jesus’ divine love. St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, in all its splendor, sits on top of the little bones of a relatively short man who took no money and no second tunic.
The year 2019 rumbles along. When will we get any good Church news? Seems like the wheels just spin and spin, stuck in a mud patch.
But there is Good News. Christ still trains and sends missionaries of divine love. That still is what the Church essentially is.
Yes, our Church finds Herself in a massive land war against multiple formidable enemies, with colonels who can’t read a compass. We can’t be naïve about “the brass.” We can’t fantasize that they know how to organize the war effort. They clearly don’t.
But we can still gladly die on the battlefield, so to speak. As missionaries of the divine love of Jesus Christ.

Great leaders are open to learning new things and adapting. Maybe the Colonels can learn something from us privates.
Start fresh… Amen… Every Day!
