The faithful few, sustain...

Fr KT began the Holy Mass this morning with the statement: The society is sustained by the fidelity of a few. He went on to add that it is the same in every structure... only a few faithful ones see the structure carry on for the good. This is indeed quite alarming. But I realised this has been so since the beginning. Abraham and Lot found it difficult to save Israel for want of a handful of honest men. Jesus too had the same problem. Even among those of us who pride saying that we have been 'chosen' and 'called' not all are really faithful, yet religious and Priestly life carries on. That's quite surprising and interesting to note!
