A Duty to Love |
|
As
Christians, as Catholics, as
those who want to follow
Jesus in our lives, we have
the desire to tell others
about Jesus. We want to
evangelize. After all, at
the end of the Gospel of
Matthew, Jesus gave the
Great Commission to the
eleven disciples. “Go,
therefore, and make
disciples of all nations…”
We desire to participate in
that mission. We desire to
follow in the footsteps of
Jesus.... |

The Man and the Sapling |
|
This
is a story about one tiny
seed. When it was planted, I
cannot say. Who planted it,
I do not know. Who watered
it before, I cannot tell.
What will become of the
seed, only God knows.
Nevertheless, a glimpse of
green, a bit of a blade, is
pushing up through the soil.
Despite all the mystery, I
can share a simple story of
one man who is tending the
soil, watering hard ground
that many thought was only
lifeless dirt, and the small
sapling that is reaching
towards the sun of justice
with its healing rays.... |

WYDIFJ? |
|
Many
of you have heard of WWJD,
seen on it on caps, bumper
stickers and bracelets. For
those of you who have
somehow missed it, WWJD
stands for the question,
“What would Jesus do?”
(Charles Sheldon’s book, In
His Steps, written in 1896
helped to popularize the
slogan long before its
popularity resurfaced in the
1990s.) And a very good
question it is, helping us
to conform ourselves to the
image of Christ and allowing
him to live through our
lives. |
