Prayer: Madeleine L'Engle
Evangelism is not what we tell people, unless what we tell is totally consistent with who we are. It is who we are that is going to make the difference... If we do not have love in our hearts, our words of love will have little meaning. If we do not truly enjoy our faith, nobody is going to catch the fire of enjoyment from us. If our lives are not totally centered on Christ, we will not be Christ-bearers for others, no matter how pious our words.

To be totally consistent with who I am implies that I know myself well, that I have no blind spot left, that I am aware of every bit of the iceberg which I am.
ReplyDeleteLove in my heart, yes. Faith, yes. Totally centered on Christ... Hmmm, how easy it is to delude myself...
Happiness is attractive and it is the best evangelizer. Gospel doesn't mean "good news" for nothing! One day I hope we can all live in the joy of the resurrection. John
