by deepening
divisions between rich and poor, our tradition recalls the
story of the Last Judgment (Mt 25:31-46) and
instructs us to put the needs
of the poor and vulnerable first. Disciples on mission witness to the Chris-
tian life in Word and deed, through the practice of the works of mercy,
while affirming the dignity of all human
life.
Questions for Reflection:
•
In what ways do I publically witness to the Christian life?
•
What are the areas of missionary discipleship that I experience as the most
challenging to me?
•
How are these areas calling me to ongoing conversion?
•
How do we encourage parishioners to publicly witness to the Christian life?
•
How does our parish show that it is committed to those in need and what are
we doing to encourage parishioners to intentionally and actively help those
in need?
•
Do we foster initiatives that outwardly and actively support the life and
dignity of the human person?
•
How might I find ways to share with others the difference the love of Christ
has made in my life?
