We must refuse to play games to amuse ourselves. We are to unite ourselves to divine resources by means of a deepening prayer and study life. All too often the temptation is to take our life-style from the prevailing life around us. Christ calls us to abandon petty aims and shallow living, to lose ourselves in the glorious Christian adventure in preparation for our coming King. The strength of Christ is ours.
Divine resources are available.
The call is not to compete with the world's great minds and men. Much as we admire them, this achievement is not enough. How lofty the intellects that have searched out the great discoveries in science, in medicine, and in every field of endeavor. How frequently the brightest minds have the saddest lives. Think what you will about Jesus Christ, no man on earth has ever so inspired men to such great sacrifice and dedication.
