About This Quote

The vocation of the Christian in every generation to out-think all opposition. Rather than react to the world, we should be proactive and think ahead about what challenges we will face and how we can overcome them. It is said that "the greatest enemy of the Church is less the world than her own members." We need not be afraid to think outside of the box and take on new challenges as we grow in our faith.
