Reading: Current events in up‑to‑date society. haven't much use for the wounds of Jesus Christ. But the less we think of the wounds of Jesus, the more we must wound one another, and the more we think of the wounds of Jesus, the less we wound one another. And I said, "How antiquated your holy gospel is becoming, and yet it is the only gospel." (MCM, p. 249)
