Friends, today Jesus instructs us to pray for
laborers for the harvest, for disciples to do
the work of evangelization. We need to
organize our lives around evangelization.
Everything we do ought to be related
somehow to it. This doesn’t mean that
we all have to become professional
evangelizers. Remember, you can evangelize
by the moral quality of your life. But it does
mean that nothing in our lives ought
to be more important than announcing
the victory of Jesus.
We should think of others not as objects
to be used, or annoying people in the way
of realizing our projects, but rather as those
whom we are called to serve. Instead of
saying, “Why is this annoying person in
my way?” we should ask, “What opportunity
for evangelization has presented itself?”
Has God put this person in your life precisely
for this purpose?
Reflect: Think of an annoying person in
your life and reflect on what opportunity
God might be putting in your way for
evangelization, which begins with love.
