from Sister Kateri Theriault Mission Integration
The Lord God has given me a well-trained tongue, that I might know how to speak to the weary a word that will rouse them. Morning after morning God opens my ear that I may hear...(Isaiah 50:4)
We have begun the journey with Christ to Jerusalem. We go from waving palm branches in celebration, to a humble meal receiving his Body and Blood to nurture our own body and spirit, to fighting sleep so to wait with Christ in the garden of Gethsemane, to riots on behalf of Christ, to denial of Christ, to that painful path to Golgotha, to the horror of Christ’s crucifixion, to his very last breath! Ah, but the story goes on…our life calls us to walk the path of resurrection and to be Christ for others.
God has gifted us in many ways in order for us to journey reflecting Christ to others. One has a well-trained tongue, another has a very sharp and insightful mind, and yet another has a strong back and arms for labor. Together, we carry the cross of love for our neighbor.
Who needs your gifted, peaceful presence today?
