This is exactly right. In Africa and L.A. it is common for Evangelicals to blare loud-speakers during Catholic services, believing they are proclaiming the true faith. A rose bears the best witness by its own smell—not by loudly proclaiming its superiority above all flowers.
He (and Pope Benedict) have made a clear distinction between proselytism and evangelization, with one being coercion and one bringing the Gospel to others and changing hearts. This is not new. Where have you been?

Her ministry among fellow laborers attracted notice of the Gestapo; she was arrested and sent to Ravensbruck, where she resumed her ministry. “Only holiness is the fullness of love. I must become a saint, a modern saint, a theocentric saint.” Beatified in 1999. @GiveUsThisDayLP

It began as an ordinary flight. But first the flight attendant and then everyone on the plane seemed to know who he was. “Welcome,” they whispered. Will Witt was about to find himself on a very unusual flight—a first class ticket to the Twilight Zone.

“Do not think that saintliness comes from occupation; it depends rather on what one is. The kind of work we do does not make us holy. But we may make it holy.”—Meister Eckhart

Fritz Eichenberg created this image of the Annunciation for the cover of Dorothy Day’s “The Long Loneliness.” We see an already pregnant Mary, evidently asleep, while an angel whispers in her ear. Meanwhile, a winding road leads to Mt Calvary, where 3 crosses are waiting.

As Dag Hammarskjold said: “I don’t know Who—or What—put the question. But st some moment I did answer Yes to Someone—or Something—and from that hour I was certain that existence is meaningful and that, therefore, my life, in self-surrender had a goal.”

In the life of many saints their holiness did not lie in a particular action but in the constant effort, over a lifetime, to answer Yes—to follow where God was leading them. orbisbooks.com/a-living-gosp…
