"It's not enough to attend church and pray every Sunday; you have to act"
- Abbe Pierre
About this Quote
This quote by Abbe Pierre is a pointer that faith is not just about participating in church and hoping every Sunday. It has to do with doing something about it and living out our faith in our daily lives. We need to make every effort to be the example of what our company believe in and put our faith into action. We need to be willing to exceed the walls of the church and into the world to make a difference. We must be willing to serve others, to assist those in need, and to spread out the message of love and hope. We should want to stand up for what is right and to combat for justice. We should want to be the light in the darkness and to be a beacon of expect those who are having a hard time. We should want to put our faith into action and to make a distinction on the planet.
