Daniel Berrigan SJ writes in "Uncommon Prayer",
"I had rather a thousand times spend my life's energies
working to heal injustice around me,
and never once speak of God;
of doing for God,
of clarifying my motives (!) -
than spend my life converting others to God,
while I gave not a snap
for prisoners, slave camps, wars, starving peoples,
the sins of the mighty,.
To what God would I be converting others,
in such a demented case?
In what God would I believe?"
May God rain down blessings upon us.
