Excerpt:

If we are to follow in Christ's footsteps, our love is the fruit of the Holy Spirit we should show each other. Our self-giving as a servant should be a complete pouring out of ourselves, an emptying, in complete obedience.
This is what the great saints have done.
Even the ones who were in disagreement with the Church teachings at the time still were obedient. To be less than that, while working for change, is to not trust God or the Holy Spirit. It is to make yourself too important. If Christ's bride is the Church, then shouldn't we also give the Church that respect?
That is why those saints are our models in tempestuous times. They help us walk as Christ did, with obedience.


Amen!

I was just reading something earlier about obedience, so this was really fitting for some of my thoughts today.
