Reflection:
God has entrusted us with a mission, beautifully expressed in today’s reading from Isaiah: “I will make you a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.”
Each one of us is called to be that light—radiating love, kindness, and mercy, and drawing others closer to God.
Today, we are invited to reflect on how we can live out this calling. The possibilities are many, but the saints offer us timeless guidance:
- Preach the Gospel at all times; when necessary, use words.
- Believe deeply that the Church is the Mystical Body of Christ, and that we are one family in Jesus.
- Notice the person beside you—on your left and on your right—and offer a simple act of charity.
- Let your heart rest in God, and your actions will naturally follow His will.
As we celebrate our “Year of the Gospel,” may we begin by sharing the Good News with everyone we encounter.
