We Catholics often deal with persecution on a daily basis, and that can be very spiritually and emotionally taxing to deal with. When times are tough, I liked to read this beautiful poem, entitled “Anyway”
People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
Although we have not met in person, I consider Michael Blissenbach a friend and more so a brother in our Lord Jesus Christ and the Church. This fairly common poem/reading by Blessed Mother Teresa is uncommon in its insights. See if you agree.
