*OPPORTUNITY
Jesus came to bring the Father's healing/saving love to the human family - one peron at a time. The people he encountered were never interruptions, distractions, or obstacles, but were opportunities to carry out his mission; this is why the Father had sent him into the world! (Gift of Peace, p79)
Opportunity, not obligation, is the cornestone of religion, the basis of all spirituality. Marriage is a sacrament, not because of its sacred obligations, rather because of its unequalled opportunity...Know and understand that there will be challenges and difficult times. Welcome them as glorious opportunities. Cultivate the technique of seeing all problems as opportunities. (Conversations, p137-8,141)
