WEEKLY MEDITATION

The Archbishop's secretary called to tell him they had a visitor who said he was Jesus Christ, and asked him what she should do! The archbishop said, "Look busy." While this is humorous, it is also very true. Jesus wants us to be busy with his mission on earth! There are many ways this can be done. Let's look at a few :
(1) Will people be able to see that we are Catholic by the way we live? (2) If we were put on trial for being a Catholic would we be convicted ? (3) Do we have the "guts" to stand up for our faith in public? (4) Do we ignore the "unpopular" teachings of our church and still receive the Eucharist ? (5) Are all of our friends and relatives fully aware of our position on moral issues? (6) Do we fully share our God-given gifts with others?These and many others are quick tests to see if we are helping to complete God's mission on earth! Jesus reminds us that we are the only minds, feet, and hands he has on earth.  IF WE DON'T DO IT - WHO WILL?
