"No wound? No scar?
Yet, as the Master shall the servant be,
And piercèd are the feet that follow Me.
But thine are whole; can he have followed far
Who hast no wound or scar?"

"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose."
Jim Elliot-missionary killed along with four others by the Huaorani Indians
While the mission appeared to be a failure to the world, the deaths of these five men triggered events which led to the gospel being brought to the Huaorani Indians. That's a lesson for all of us.

"Prepare for life with seriousness and diligence.
Always remember that onl if one builds,
as Saint Paul says,
on the foundation which is Jesus Christ,
will one be able to construct something really great and lasting.
With the liveliness that is characteristic of your age,
with the generous enthusiasm of your young hearts,
walk towards Christ.
He alone is the solution to all your problems.
He alone is the way, the truth, and the life;
He alone is the real salvation of the world;
He alone is the hope of mankind."
... Pope John Paul II
Speech to Children, Guadalajara, Mexico

Peace is simply not the absence of war. It begins in the heart of every person created in the image of God, when there is a recognition that human life is sacred and that it must be respected. The truth of being human is the inherent and inalienable dignity and worth of each and every person without exception. Where there is no concrete expression of this fundmantal truth, an authentic culture of peace is impossible. Human problems such as poverty, disease, the culture of death that supports abortion, euthanasia, and other forms of human violence and destruction, including war and armed conflict, are stark reminders that we have yet to acknowledge as a human family the truth about ourselves
... ... ... ... ... ... ...- Msgr. Anthony Frontiero who is a Priest serving as an official at the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace at the Vatican.

Paul:
1Th 4:16 -17 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion; it is like a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ.

"The rebellion of new ideologies against the Tao* is a rebellion of the branches against the tree: if the rebels could succeed, they would find that they destroyed themselves."
*The Tao is the doctrine of objective value, the belief that certain attitudes are really true, and others really false.
Clive Staples (C.S.) Lewis (1898-1963)
Professor of English Literature; Writer; Christian apologist

Isn't it absolutely mind-boggling that in the Kingdom of Heaven, we will most likely get a chance to meet some of these Christian leaders? Can you imagine walking up to Paul, shaking his hand, and saying, "Hi Paul, how are you doing? (paraphrased)

If you plant for a year, plant grain. If you plant for ten years, plant trees. If you plant for a 100 years, plant men. If you plant for eternity, plant the word.

Even though the Author is unknown I thought it worth adding.

I am so glad my father knows what I need better than I, even if sometimes I don't think He is right, He always is when I see it retrospectively.
