The Assault on Faith in the Workplace
Here’s a snippet -
I’m certainly not an expert in these matters. It doesn’t take an expert, however, to see that the assaults on faith in the marketplace are accelerating and deepening. The battle lines are becoming clearer and starker. Our options are becoming bleaker and darker. Or so it would seem.
Because if the goal of every Catholic is to become a saint, does it matter how we get there? No matter how we get there, the journey leads through the Cross.
We must accept the fact that since the Church will exist until the end of time, these battles will never end. We may win an occasional reprieve. There might even be a lull in the fighting here and there. But the enemies of the Church are emboldened, driven to extinguish the light of Truth to the fullest extent possible, especially in the workplace. It is being turned into a raging battlefield. To be the light of the world, to be the city on the hill, is to be a target. This isn’t news to any of you – but it can be overwhelming. It ought not be.
I’m interested in what you think. Leave a comment!
Speaking up in the face of attacks on our faith is the hardest thing in the world, and that is part of why we are called to do it.
I remind myself daily in prayer and Mass and share with others who lose courage and confidence at times, that Jesus has won the war against the Dragon even if we with His Gospel lose a battle in the media and with the dissidents and ex-Catholics in that Plaza and Downtown whose voices are as noisy now as they are ultimately powerless
It is hard to witness, but that is precisely why we were created. Nice work Larry!
Larry D., thanks for that. We are increasingly faced with this dilemma, so your comments about this being a never-ending battle to which we are called is a sober reminder. I’m not happy about it, and am not infrequently rather anxious about it, but so it is. So it must be. Sadly, our nation (and perhaps most of the world, for that matter) seems hellbent on committing collective suicide. May God have mercy on us.
