be a catalyst
Every single being has room for generosity, has potential for kindness. But most of us remains as that. A potential, a dormant energy, an unutilised source of greatness.
What is lacking?
That spark. That mover. That catalyst.
Each of us Christians are then called to be catalyst, to spark that moment from dormance to action, from potential to kinetic, from dead to life. And if every Christian does that, how the world would blaze. Where every Christian taps onto that underutilised source of greatness and kindness from everyone to move things and make things happen.
We are called to be Christians of the beatitudes.
The Christians of the Beatitudes are not demi-gods fallen from heaven, they belong to the earth; they are poor sinners who burn to rise out of their misery. They are hungry for a better world, they thirst to put a little more beauty into their lives and to see more fraternal feeling among men. Only Jesus can appease this thirst. If any man is thirsty—this is you—let him come to me—this is the first step which he asks you to make.—After that—and drink! Let him kneel before me as the parched traveller leans over the clear water of the stream that refreshes him. Let him feed himself on my word, let him slake his thirst from my spirit!
