In the moment of making concrete decisions, this faith will lead us, through the Spirit’s anointing, to a clear knowledge of the limits of our own role; it will make us wise and intelligent in choosing the means we use; in the end, it will lead us to evangelical e ectiveness that is far removed from both emotional ineptitude and easy-going indi erence. Our faith is revolutionary; it is a foundation unto itself. —Open Mind, Faithful Heart; “Chapter 5: Our Faith” SALESCROSSROADPUBLISHING.COM 5 Popes John Paul XXIII and John Paul II Eugene J.
