On the weekend I have enjoyed traveling to Slovakian
Monastery. You will hear more
about that. But the questions I had raised interesting
perspectives.
During Communism, these Monks really had two options:
play the game that was asked
of them by the Secret Police and pledge your allegiance to
the Sovereign State OR
be jailed and/or killed.
The first choice one must renounce their allegiance to God
and to faithful living and in the
second, one must face prison or execution.
I wonder how these Monasteries have survived. I wonder
how Christian witness has survived.
I wonder about the choices we make every day without
thinking that they are choices.
Mostly I give thanks.
