Am I writing for now or for the future? A personal manifesto

Thanks to wiki

The geniuses of this world, such as Steve Jobs and Ferdinand Porsche, worked not just for the day but for the furture. When, on June 8th, 1948, Mr. Porsche designed the two-seater 356, he also was drawing the prototypes for all Porsches up to the present day.

The 911 was created in 1963, but the concepts of what a car should be had been established. The genius was to create a car for those who may not know what a car can do, but should do.
Steve Jobs was the same at Apple, and thought ahead of the game, as it were, to create a machine which would appeal to people who did not even realize all a computer could do.

God did the same thing. While Christ was on earth, He created the one, holy, Catholic, and apostolic Church. Those first men did not realize all the Church would be and should be, but Christ did.

He thought ahead of His People-of course, He is God.

But, we must do the same now. We must think ahead of what is happening in the world AND in our own interior lives in order to be prepared for the future.

Those who are not preparing will either be lost, confused, weak, or simply not able to help their neighbours.

As baptized Catholics, this is our responsibility-to be prepared.


As Hamlet states, "The readiness is all".

Ready for what? Now and the eternal now.

Read my blog, read the Scriptures, pray, study, think, reflect, act.

We do not have much time.
