Daily Meditation: Telling the Story of Jesus

Thursday November 7, 2013    Telling the Story of Jesus   The Church is called to announce the Good News of Jesus to all people and all nations.  Besides the many works of mercy by which the Church must make Jesus' love visible, it must also joyfully announce the great mystery of God's salvation through the life, suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus.  The story of Jesus is to be proclaimed and celebrated.  Some will hear and rejoice, some will remain indifferent, some will become hostile.  The story of Jesus will not always be accepted, but it must be told.   We who know the story and try to live it out, have the joyful task of telling it to others.  When our words rise from hearts full of love and gratitude, they will bear fruit, whether we can see this or not.     Comment on this Daily Meditation.
