needs to be addressed

i cant help the feeling that some things are going unnoticed and i think we need to clear the air before it bites us on the butt.

first, i understand that you all have busy lives and commitments to a great number of things in this world. but i cant shake this feeling that the majority of you feel that you're doing me a favor by participating at all in the underground apostolate.
this is a problem.
i feel that i went to sufficient lengths to describe the gravity of the commitment you made to yourselves and to God when you made the vow. however it feels as though most of you have yet to take this seriously. i say most because its not all, a couple of you seem to really love this thing, as i do.

saturday night we had a special meeting to install new members and i asked that the group be there to support them in making their vow, only one group member besides myself showed up, thats fine, almost everybody had a valid reason to not show and almost everybody gave me a heads up that they wouldnt be there.

sunday afternoon, we had an event at city hall, we all sat together and decided on a time that worked for all of us even to the point of everybody catering to one's very moveable, very postponeable or advanceable meeting. point is that we all agreed on a time that we could make a public witness in our city and some chose not to show. worse still is that with the exception of two, they didn't give a heads-up so we started late, not knowing if they would show or not.

as i said, i understand being busy and not always being in control of where and when you can do things, and having a host of things expected of you throughout every day. i do NOT, i repeat i do NOT, expect anyone to make this a first prioriy if it is not in their heart to do so, that is simply not required. but as i made clear in my explanation of your vows, i do expect you to prioritize it when you can.
homework can be done sooner, meeting for other purposes can be moved. i just expect that you would give this commitment you have made, the same respect that you give whatever it is that is out-weighing it thus far.

dont get down. you're all wonderful, and youve done a great thing by commiting to yourselves to do this, so lets do this.
