Catholics could do more promoting the common good - in their homes and their workplaces, and all moments of their life, right where they are.

Our desire to "cool or boil oceans" is a grand act of pride and wretched time wasting, giving us the fleeting sense that we're doing something great while the rest of our life goes on quite lukewarm and fruitless, our marriage, our work, our apostolate, our friendships.

Live heroically in the little.  The "humiliation" of "little work" - of tempering our gradiosities - keeps us usefully humble to God.
