The worst of times makes the best of saints.
Beware of false prophits. St. John Chrysostom says this passage talks about nonpracticing Catholics. Flesh begets flesh; Spirit begets Spirit. Fasting and suffering can help. So can prayer and reception of the Holy Eucharist.
The Spirit and the Bride say come. Be a witness, and example.
The priest must live in the world, but be a witness to that which is not of this world. Likewise, all must be a light in our culture of death and darkness.
Do not expose children to mainstream media, or bad influences like the 700 club and dirty jokes. Teach children the culture of life. Treat people as people.
