Quote of the day “exercised by the question of God”

“Agnostics, who are constantly exercised by the question of God, those who long for a pure heart but suffer on account of our sin, are closer to the Kingdom of God than believers whose life of faith is ‘routine’ and who regard the Church merely as an institution, without letting their hearts be touched by faith.”

Benedict XVI

Thoughts…

• How fitting in the context of today’s gospel about the two sons, one of whom said yes and did nothing while the other said no but did something.
• Can we recognize times in our lives when we have been both?
