Father Norm Weslin:-> These things, this is what I ask to do when I go to preach at Masses and rallies but people look with disdain sometimes at going to jail but that's what Jesus Christ did. Jesus Christ went to jail. All of his Apostles went to jail and they were martyred and they did not look at this as a passive way of bringing people into Christianity. It was a very active, dynamic, moving thing where you read in St. Paul where he was lowered out of a window in order to escape the authorities. Peter was hung upside down. He was heading for the catacombs when Jesus turned him around and said Peter, where are you going? and [Peter] told Him he was going to hide out in the catacombs and Jesus said, no I have need for you in the city, in Rome, so he turned around went back -- and this was a very active, dynamic Christianity. Jesus Christ was no wimp, He was active He walked many miles through the sand, He defied the authorities, He called the authorities hypocrites, broods of vipers, white washed sepulchres, He was no mamby-pamby. He said if you are lukewarm, I will spit you out of my mouth. This was the active Jesus Christ who was a very gentle, loving man who was unafraid, of course He's God. He never used His divinity as something to be grasped at, He did all this in his humanity so that He could be exactly like us so that forever all mankind would know that Jesus Christ, yes He did, He came down to redeem us, to be one of us authentically not just by name. He came down and suffered what He knew we would suffer but He suffered to a far greater extent then we did and He still suffers. This is something we forget. He's still suffering for us because He's still losing souls to Satan; they're being seduced by short-term pleasures on this earth, killing our children, my gracious. http://www.priestsforlife.org/media/weslin.htm
