Have salt in yourself and be at peace with one another - a queer combination! But that is the mind of Christ. Be righteous yourself, but do not judge others. Let not your righteousness cause you to look down on others, for that will already be a loss of righteousness, in Christ's terms. Righteousness - Being Right - or in very simple terms being good. The most crucial problem of our times is that we have lost the sense of sin, said the illustrious theologian Karl Rahner. Subjectivism, relativism and individualism have taken away the simplicity of Christian life. We believe something, profess something and live something totally different. Let us strive to bring the Christian Simplicity back into our lives. Let what we pray, what we believe and what we live be the same... this was the earliest mode of Christian living. Without straining to find out where down the line have we lost it, let us resolve to make it present today, here and now.
