Never adopt a superior air towards Church matters, or towards your fellow human beings – your brothers. On the other hand that attitude might be necessary in your social behaviour, when it is a matter of defending the interests of God and those of souls, for then you would not be acting out of superiority, but out of faith and fortitude, which we practise with a calm and humble confidence.
– St. Josemaria Escriva, Furrow, #720
I like that; 'calm and humble confidence'!
Let us pray for a true solid unshakable faith; for only then can we defend it with unwavering confidence, and with Heavnely calmness!
Who cares what others think or say about us? We know that the Catholic faith is true, and we should be confident in professing this beautiful truth, no matter how the world percieves it(no contraception & no sex before marriage being, in my opinion, two of the issues that the majority of the Western world would disagree with us on).
