“I have called you by name, giving you a title, though
you know me not. I am the Lord, there is no other,
there is no God besides me”… “We keep thanking
God for all of you and we remember you in our
prayers, for we are constantly mindful before our
God and Father of the way you are proving your
faith, and laboring in love, and showing constancy in
hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.”
We cite a new letter of Paul, who once again reminds us
of his concern for his community of faith. Even when he
is unable to be with them in person, his letter becomes
the source of encouragement and support. How do his
words apply to our reality?
Three things are reflected in the life of his followers –
perseverance in faith, when so many have become
indifferent or walked away; laboring in love, bringing
Christ’s love and compassion to others, the homebound,
in nursing homes; showing constancy in hope, which we
call witness, praying for others, inviting lapsed Catholics
back to His table and building up the body of Christ.
Why should I do this? Isaiah told us that we have been
called, and we have answered. We have come to know
our relationship with Christ, and the fruit of that
experience obliges us to share it with others. He has
given us a title – Missionary! Consider one person who
has walked away or is fearful or shy about returning.
Pray for that person, and ask God’s grace to invite them
back to life in the church. (The second largest Christian
denomination in the United States, is Catholics who no
longer live the faith.)
