The Attitude of Mattathias

We are now in apostolic times. The Faith and faithful families changed the culture and created Christian civilisation in the past. The Faith, witnessed by fervent preaching and living, told men and women, the poor, the downtrodden, prostitutes, and slaves, that they were sons and daughters of God. Families lived that faith, changing a culture of death to a culture of life. They were a creative minority with a message of hope. God, wrote Cardinal Mueller, is the “origin and goal of human beings. He Himself is the goal of our infinite quest for truth and happiness. Forgetting God, we miss our true being.” Preaching and living that makes this crisis an opportunity.
