Step it up, Laity

You look around at the world about you and can’t help but feel a twinge of concern mixed with anger and frustration.  The world seems to be spinning on an unstable axis, wobbling ever closer to Babel than Jerusalem.  The world tells you there’s nothing you can do and no reason you should try.  God, however, has other ideas.  Improve the world by improving yourself, then those around you, always with charity.  It’s time we take this responsibility seriously.
