Rhymes: Sunday piety

Thursday, May 15, 2014
    Commemoration of Charles Williams, Spiritual Writer, 1945
Meditation:
    For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
    —1 John 5:4 (KJV)
Quotation:
    If our faith is not relevant to our daily life in the world and in the parish, then it is no use; and if we cannot be Christians in our work, in the neighborhood, in our political decisions, then we had better stop being Christians. A piety reserved for Sundays is no message for this age.
