Celebrating Lent: 2013


.
Lent 2013: Day 36

It was last year that Pope Benedict XVI announced that this would be a Year of Faith, a time for us to commit ourselves to evangelizing the world around us. The Holy Father called us to use the gifts we have, from the smallest gift or talent to the greatest, and to lend these same gifts to build up knowledge and commitment to Christ in today’s world.

Jesus Christ not only calls us to Himself but also sends us out as evangelizers, that is, as a people of faith who want to bring and/or deepen that same faith in others. Married couples do that with each other, families accomplish that within their homes, and out and out it stretches like ripples on a lake.

We begin with ourselves, touching those we love and making a difference as often as we can.

??? Do I allow any thought or any thing to discourage me from living for Him ???
