I attended mass at Greenbelt Chapel today.  Father Bob was the celebrant and he left a seed of thought in my mind.

A graduate of a university that did not advocate apathy … but sadly… I’ve noticed that since I’ve left the college walls, I somehow lived it.  Minding my own business … in fear that helping someone begging in the streets might make me part of a big scam like that of the “Budol budol” gang.  Yeah, sad but true.

Anyway, back to Father Bob’s homily … he said that he rarely saw a persecuted Christian at present times.  Men have grown tender … but .. and there’s that BUT … it’s still Calvary all over again but this time it may even be worse.  He shared a poem comparing the present time with Calvary.  The poem mentions of Birmingham which is a highly developed place in England.  It struck a cord in me so I’m sharing it with you

You’ll get through the day with each minute that passes by
You’ll get through the moment when you wished you’d rather die
You’ll get through it
You might not like it but you’ll be fine
