(500-1500) Harvard Sociologist Professor produced a formula.
1900 - 1925 – World War I – Most Death – Dark 1925 - 1950 – World War II – This was the darkest time. 1950 – 1975 – Stalin, Famine – This was the darkest time. 1975 - Now – Ethnic Cleansing, Genocide 1972 – Roe vs Wade – Billions of abortions – This is the darkest of Ages – especially for families.
Truly, it is the Dark Ages we live in.
In the midst of the Dark Ages, let me ask, “Can you see further in the day or the night?
At night, you can look at the stars so far away. The light of a star scatters the darkness.
We as individuals and especially as families, need to be light in the darkness. Families that pray together stay together. Families who attend Mass together can be a light to others.
How and why do we volunteer? What is our purpose in serving God and others?
We are called to support Mothers and Fathers. We are called to be that model for the young children.
Teamsters Union members would drive kids places every day to help families.
Yes, we live in Dark Times, but you and I are called to shine to be the light that others can see and so come to know the Lord.
