The word of God continued to spread and grow.
(Acts 12:24)
Jesus cries out to us today: I came into the world as light, so that everyone who believes in me might not remain in darkness (Jn 12:46). Dear Lord, we believe, help our unbelief. May we receive the Light and, through word and deed, be shining lights for others. May all the people praise you, O God; may all the peoples praise you!
Christ must live in us, so that we might give Him to others.
(E. Leseur, The Secret Diary of Elisabeth Leseur, p. 162)
A simple contact can sometimes be the best sermon; a spark can start a great flame.
