The gratitude hidden in my heart is not enough for you. If it is true, then you expect that I will announce your deeds to the whole world. The apostles did that. They did not receive applause, but rather torture. Thanks to them, I know you. Does the conversion of today's world not also depend on my testimony?
Give me the courage to testify about you to my surroundings with my joy, words, and example. Teach me to celebrate the day of your Resurrection – every Sunday – so that people see that you are the center of my life, that I dare not to work and celebrate because I believe that you are alive and have everything in your hands, that you know how to take care of us.
(Jan Graubner /*1948/, In the Silence of Spiritual Exercises VIII.)
