Not many of us like to rock the boat. We’re often unsure. Afraid of saying or doing the wrong thing. When faced with the same doubts, St. Julie Billiart encouraged her sisters, Better mistakes than paralysis.
This is good advice. We can see that paralysis is not a valid option. We must act. But never without prayer and discernment. Not only will this enable us to know what to do, it will give us the strength to continue on when we are faced with obstacles, ridicule, and push back.
