(4) It may seem powerless and pitiful to hand over yourself as if you were robbed. But Christ went on his path of suffering not because he gave up. In this regard as well, St. Thomas teaches: "It is the strength of the heart, or the living power, that endures what is no longer possible. This strong power stays still in the path of good that I have been called, where I can do nothing anymore. , I will not take a step from there. Even if it is damaged both physically and mentally and eventually dies, it will grow to a power that is absolutely unflinching. " (Summa Theologica 2/2/123/6/2). What can't be done anymore is a painful deadlock. It is not because they are cowardly and weak that those who are called there still stay. That is the work of living love. But behind this, there is one more thing. When people are cornered in something that is nothing more, they usually get used to it. So he doesn't do anything. It's a dead end anyway, and I feel like I can't help doing anything. Wherever I hang my hat is home, I just manage to eat and settle down. But St. Thomas says that's not enough. He says he can't love God and love his neighbors with the feeling that he only has to eat. On the contrary, no matter how much he gets stuck, if there is still something he can do, he will not let it go. It's only a little, so if you can't help it, you won't throw it out. I will fulfill only the little that I have left on the spot. This tenacity is absolutely necessary to live in love for God and his neighbors. In this world, there are unexpectedly many people who give up the path they started and go outside unless they go the way they want. If this is for life, or just for work or business, it may not be bad either. Rather, it may be better. But when it comes to neighbors who finally hand over themselves to God, the problem is different. That is the important brink of living or dying, whether or not a person's life succeeds. Still, I can't stop someone who leaves because they say it's stupid. But both the Gospels and Paul's letters call for them to stay on Christ's cross, which is completely unincorporated by the general public. From this point of view, loving God in our neighbors is a great thing that requires all the heart and power of a person. You can't do a lot of things you like and then think a little about God.
