PAGE 4 | CATHOLIC NEWS | Sunday, August 6, 2017OPINION Yes, we may have fulfilled our weekly obligation, but have we been truly Christian? Did I help my colleague who came to me with a problem? Did I take someone to work today, or have I acted selfishly with an attitude that said, ‘my car is for me alone’? What about that problem that I vowed to help my friend with? There are many more examples of Christ-like behaviour that one can adopt on a daily basis. Wouldn’t these things start a chain reaction among members of your community? If each of us acted in a better way and pledged to do more for each other who can predict what might happen among us and in us. Given the state of our society at present and the radical change necessary to turn things around, a great effort will be required.
