Fr. John Catoir We never realize the impact we have on others. It's important to keep in mind that the Holy Spirit often leads us along paths we would not have chosen for ourselves. For that reason, when people come to us for help we cannot always recommend the easy way out. Fr. James Keller (founder of The Christophers) wrote, ‘I began to see that failure on my part to be an instrument of the divine plan could, in a minor way at least, deprive others of blessings that were to be sent through one person, like myself. This profound thought has continued to affect me ever since.' In other words, there is no substituting for you in fulfilling the mission in life that Almighty God has assigned to you and you alone.
