There is always the danger that we may just do the work for the sake of the work. This is where the respect and the love and the devotion come in - that we do it to God to Christ and that's why we try to do it as beautifully as possible.
The miracle is not that we do this work but that we are happy to do it.
Discernment is God's call to intercession never to faultfinding.
History teaches us that men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all other alternatives.
