Christ centered - All the Apostles recalled the first days that they spent in Jesus' company as marking the start of a new life for them. St John felt the same way. “When he recounts his divine adventure many years later, those pages of the Gospel are as fresh and fragrant as an affectionate diary. ‘It was about four o'clock in the afternoon,’ he writes. He recalls the very moment when Jesus, seeing that they were following him, invited them to accompany him.” (St Josemaría)
Every Christian is an apostle. “Open your lips, and let God’s word be heard.” The word of God is pronounced by those who repeat Christ’s teaching and meditate on his sayings. Let us always speak this word.
When we speak about wisdom, we are speaking of Christ.
When we speak about virtue, we are speaking of Christ.
When we speak about justice, we are speaking of Christ.
When we speak about peace, we are speaking of Christ.
When we speak about truth and life and redemption, we are speaking of Christ.
It is for you to open your lips; it is for him to be heard.
Today’s challenge: To listen to a friend, and perhaps to help him make a good confession.
