Entertaining Angels #19

Question 19: In the dramatic climax of the film, The Catholic Worker staff revolts. I understand their viewpoint. Their position is an easy one to take when you feel as if your work is useless. I feel that their position is taking the easy way out, they cannot look past the present into the future. Most importantly, they cannot see that the real success is not in the sales and production of the paper, but it in comforting and serving the poor and needy. They cannot accept their role of being fools for God. Dorothy responds by fleeing to the church and questioning God. Her talk with God was one of my favorite parts of her story because I was able to relate to her. Sometimes I question God and what is He calling me to do. I think it is most difficult to love those who refuse to love you back no matter how hard you try or the people you are envious of. If we see God in these individuals, then we can love them and God will be generous and share His grace with us.
