To be caught up in passivity, lukewarmness and indifference is to invalidate any claim to authentic faith. Such conduct is contradictory. Therefore, it is incumbent that we engage ourselves with a lost world and put expression to faith. This then becomes a faith active in love. What a challenge for parents.
Children wait to witness a faith expressed in love.
They are tired of abstractions, empty platitudes and contradictory example. Children must see saving faith at work. That is their cry. What a challenge for youth. They know the cheapness of talk.
