Relieved

It took four months - but I'm back, if anyone still stops by from time to time. What happened?

We moved the family to the Upper Bavarian countryside. We acclimated the children, and ourselves. We live a - every day. Of course, again showed: First, everything is different, and secondly, as you might think.

I had to work with my vocation to pray a lot and Christianity. Of these, perhaps another time. I have discovered the beauty of baroque churches and the (sometimes subtle) differences in liturgical practice. God and I am grateful for every day that we are here and walk the path may continue. Despite everything, because all of this.

I still pray in English, often, and increasingly in German and Latin. And I have to do an awful lot that can stop me from writing on this blog. I'll try it anyway.

For I was and am thrilled with the rich substance of which may consume the few practicing Catholics in the country -. And I am amazed at the extent of the very special oddities in this country one hand is the belief here deeply embedded and in many small , forms own life that I could not do elsewhere. On the other hand, there are of course its own problems. Here are the two largest, at least in my opinion:

1) The affected limbs: We all know what happened with limbs that are cut off from the bloodstream. They change color, throbbing with pain, and die. Genaus so it is with a few misguided Noisy who take themselves more important than the mystical body of Christ. Rather than leave the church or repent, my, these poor souls, the church must adapt to their deformations. The rather obvious reason: Instead of apostolic zeal, there is a hermetic Abriegelungseifer, and then comes the hut Koller, leading to the traitor. Not realizing that they cut off the blood circulation of the Church and so slow to self-amputation condemn them to bear their pain as throbbing lament about the Church before them. This is the heart of Rome more so. We must repent practicing Christians - even for those confused, because buses do not own the course.

2) The lack of clarity: Since there is a huge fragmentation due to tax church and historical identity. There are not only negative phenomena, such as the traitor. The organizations of the church make a huge amount for children, the sick, the elderly, the poor. And it is still preferred contact point for the important stages in life: baptism, marriage, death. But all this is just the right sense in church, when Christians themselves aware of and is to be exercised, live for the love of God, charity and perform these duties as an apostolic mission.
The church is primarily there to save us, all people the Gospel to bring. Everything else is secondary. If the primary is lost forgotten or despised, then the secondary no longer met its function, the primary reach.

What is the future of the church in Germany? It depends on us, we are the Church, the Body of Christ incarnate, and rely on the grace of God can. There is so much to do. Dear God, grant us your grace to do what we can afford.
