Faithful, not Successful

This past week, Shannon and I participated in a Face the Truth Tour put on by Defend Life, a pro-life group based in Baltimore, Maryland. Each day during our lunch break after our second stop, we had a different pro-life speaker give a short talk. Three of the five speakers during the week mentioned something which I found to be very encouraging, not only for pro-life work, but simply for life in general. What they mentioned was a quote from Blessed Mother Teresa: "God does not ask us to be successful, He asks us to be faithful." We must keep this in mind when every girl walks past us on the sidewalk and into an abortion mill, or when we have a day at a center with no turnarounds. Even in moments of sadness, or frustration, we must remain always faithful.
