Follow-up on McInerny Quote
Mr. McInerny writes: "Our daily problems are never enough. We always multiply them by imagining variations on them. What would we do if.... Very, very true. It is difficult at times to be thankful for our material good fortune when others have so little. We may wonder, "would I still be faithful to God under unpleasant circumstances? Would I have stood for God under the persecutions of the early Church?"
This may be part of the reason it is so difficult to focus on the gospel as it relates to us individually, in simply attempting to progress where we are deficient. Instead we worry about whether all will be saved, or what percentage will and all the variations of sin and obedience, of doctrinal flavoris and of doubt and faith.
