"On the last day of Jan 1915, under the sign of the Water Bearer, in a year of a great war...I came into the world. Free by nature, in the image of God, I was nevertheless a prison of my own violence and my own selfishness, in the image of the world into which I was born." Merton

Today's Gospel, Mk 4:21f: Setting a light on a lamp stand: A mission-driven church is fruitful. A church that is inward-looking, concerned only with its own preservation and safety becomes sickly; even what it has will be taken from it.

I count myself among those who have become better Christians because of #Gandhi . To learn about his appreciation of Jesus, his criticism of western Christendom, and his challenge to Christians today, see the book I edited: *Gandhi on Christianity.* bit.ly/2RUX0c5

Kierkegaard noted the same in "The Present Age." And Pascal in his Pensees (17th century), and John Cassian in the 5th century--long before the rise of capitalism. But now we have Facebook!
