Never, ever assume.
Don't assume that because people don't go to church, they have a weak relationship with God.
Don't assume that because people don't go to church, they are not worthy, not good, or are not AS good as you.
Don't assume that those people who are at church have a super strong relationship with God.
Don't assume that because people are sitting in the pews, taking the Sacrament, they are better than you.
Don't ever assume that because you are the person sitting in the pew taking the Sacrament, you are better than the person next to you, or the person who dismissed the Sacrament or the person who is not at church.
Every single person is on a different journey.
Every single person is at a different point in their journey.
Every single person is a child of God.
Their worth is no different than yours or mine or the person under the viaduct.
Period.
And, on a side note...
The people who are dismissing the Sacrament, who are at that point in their journey...
Those are my people.
Those are bravest of the brave.
Those are the ones who are making things right in their lives and who are drawing so close to God that I almost envy them.
Those are my people.
