A Comparison
The average Christian, my brethren, is not unlike the deluded Baltasar. Engrossed with worries in the daily struggle for existence or distracted with amusements - perhaps falsely secure in some power he possesses or intoxicated with pride - he too often forgets the more serious business of life and grows careless about the one thing necessary for him, the safety of the kingdom of his immortal soul.
-Lonergan, S.J.
