Pastoral letter #229 revised.

[tfad...@aol.com]

Peace is the meaning of life, and the reason we exist is to seek this
not only for ourselves and for them that love us in return but also
for those who do not. Men and women were created to be holy and until
they are they are neither grown-ups nor winners.

There are actually two kinds of failures: The first kind doesn't
believe in himself and the second kind doesn't believe in someone
that's an obvious winner exactly because he doesn't really know what
one is. Both kinds are losers. A winner doesn't believe in just
himself alone but also in God, who is Jesus, and the global crisis in
leadership in communities both large and small can only be solved by
turning the rulers of the earth into these.

Sincerely,

Thomas Francis Adams

Saint Thomas the Divine
