Weekly Meditation

St. Paul did so much to bring people to a deep faith
in God's love for us as it comes through Jesus,
our Savior. Reflect again on these thoughts from his
letter to the Corinthians: (2 Cor 5:14-21)

"The love of Christ impels us, once we come to the
conviction that one died for all; therefore, all
have died. He indeed died for all. so that those
who live might no longer live for themselves but for
him who for their sake died and was raised . . . So
whoever is in Christ is a new creation . . . And all
this is from God who has reconciled us to himself
through Christ and has given us the ministry of
reconciliation . . . So we ar ambassadors for Christ..."

So, as fully initiated Catholics we have so many opportunities
to be ambassadors for Christ and get involved in ministry
of reconciliation. Our Savior calls us and our world needs
us "to live our faith fully and share it freely."
