Follow me and I will make you fishers of men.
This is an invitation Jesus extended to Peter and Andrew. It is an invitation He makes to us daily. Being Christian is more than just paying lip service and thinking only of my own salvation and happiness. It is about spreading the Good News, to bring the joy we feel to others who may need a boost in their lives. In this season of Advent, as we draw closer to the Lord, we need to find ways we can help others do the same.
There are so many people around us hungry, lonely, oppressed and desperate. Do we hear the often silent cries of their hearts and respond? What can we do today that will reach out to our less fortunate brothers and sisters and make a difference in their lives. As Saint Paul reminded the Romans: as scripture says: The footsteps of those who bring good news are a welcome sound.
Dear Jesus, let my footsteps be a sound that brings relief, and even joy, to someone who needs it today.
