Quo Vadis, Domine?

In today's society we live in a culture full of questions. We want to know all the answers. If there is something we don't understand, we feel that there is an answer to that question and we have to have it. However, the essential questions are so often ignored or swept under the rug. In the famous words of St. Peter when he was leaving Rome and saw Christ, the question we must ask is "Quo Vadis?". Where are you going? To put it better, where are you leading? This is the question that we need to ask, this is the question we need to pose to our Lord. One of the blessings that we have is that Christ founded His Church to give us guidance through what is, at times, a very dark world. The Magesterium of the Church remains as a light, a beacon which shines in the darkness of modernity which is surrounding us. She is our light, and our hope as we struggle in our daily lives.

What is so sad, is that not only non-Catholics, but that even the Catholics in today's culture seem to ignore. We can only hope and pray that with the guidance of the Magesterium, under the leadership of His Holiness Pope Benedict, we can follow the will of Christ for our lives. He made the sacrifice for us, now it is our turn, to make small sacrifices for Him.
