Yesterday was Pentecost Sunday, commonly referred to as the birthday of the Church. The focus for Pentecost is mission. When most of us think of mission, we think of going away to different places to help fix things or to tell people about Christ. In reality, the biggest mission call that we have is how we live our lives. St. Francis is attributed with saying, "Preach the Gospel at all times, when necessary, use words." Its important that we remember that we have to walk to the talk. If we say we are a people of love and compassion, then we have to show that to everyone we meet. So the questions that I would challenge you to think about in the wake of Pentecost are these: How have you shown love lately to those close to you lately?
How have you shown love to those you do not know very well?
How have you shown love to those you do not get along with?
In the immortal words of the Beatles, "All you need is love." How are you going to be love to all you meet in this summer of love?
God is love,
Fraz
