Thursday....be vulnerable.

Mass this morning was said by a visiting Australian missionary.

He gave three rules for spreading the faith. I forget the first two, but the third 'be vulnerable' stuck. 

We are often too concerned about 'looking good', being embarrassed, or respected. Being vulnerable runs counter to these. It is being exposed to the possibility of attack, of being harmed either physically or mentally.  He is saying to be ready to be laughed at, despised or ignored. A good way to think.
