How We Will Be Real Christians
When we stay close to the good Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, we will see the flesh of all the poor people that we meet as an extension of the body of Christ. That outlook will come through to them. Then we will be Christians. Then we will not be in the mountain in ecstasy nor in the valley, impotent and ineffective. But we will be the kind of Christians the world is looking for. A group of Russian soldiers broke into a barn not very long ago in Russia and found hundreds of people in prayer. They said to them, 'You are violating the Soviet law. Prayer is forbidden. We give you five minutes to leave. All who remain will be shot.' Two left. The Russian soldiers threw down their guns and said, 'We want to be Christians too. We only wanted to be sure that you were really Christians.'
