What caught my attention was when the priest was dragged around the city as the people mocked him. Endo says, "what grieved him most was his inability to love these people as Christ had loved them". We often times preach to love others as Christ does, but we do not see how difficult it can be. The priest came to this country to help them, but the people do not want it. He came to share Christ's love, but they push it away. Should we still pour out His love when it is not wanted? Of course, but that does not mean it is easy. The priest says, "and yet in the crowd there may be some who are praying in the silence of their hearts". He holds onto the faith that there are still faithful Christians.
I commented on Caleb's post.
