Beautiful Reflection for the Day

"But ultimately, real lay “power” doesn’t reside in money or professional skill or positions of influence within the Church bureaucracy. It resides in a personal witness of holiness, which is both simple and demanding. There’s an obvious calculus to this. There’s no Church without the Eucharist. There’s no Eucharist without the priest. But there’s also no priest without committed laypeople who form their sons to listen for God’s call and to sacrifice themselves out of love for God and the believing community."
