If you would see the world improved, improve yourself and your family. Pray together, love each other deeply. Practice kindness, charity, peacefulness, forgiveness and gentleness not only with each other but with those you come in contact with.
You cannot shake your fist at the world and shout "Change, and do it now!" without changing yourself first. If we all learn to value life, each other, faith and family in a deeper, more meaningful way then our influence will slowly spread throughout society. And until we change what society embraces (the glorification of violence, extreme sexuality, greed and self adoration above all else) then we will continue to see frequent violence, degradation of women and children, high levels of economic and spiritual poverty and empty relationships throughout our society.
God's grace be with you,
Fr. Charles Butler
