“We are not better than the others, and yet we have a better time of it. We, the small minority who live in peace and affluence, must tread a quite different road to heaven from the great majority, who face death in poverty and fear, in suffering and hunger.
And yet I believe that these suffering souls will be happy for all eternity, because they are the least of His little ones and so God’s most beloved children.”

I read Fr Werenfried’s Thought for the Day every day ; because I have come to understand that there is more to his life than preaching good. He has actually done good, so that many, many people have had cause to thank him. And I thank him.
