Giving of Ourselves in Gratitude to God’s Love

On the day of our Baptisms… we became new creations. We became adopted sons and daughters of God’s, and, from that moment forth, He called us to follow Him.

It is important to recognize this call as a call to discipleship. A call to give ourselves to the Lord in gratitude for His great gifts. A call to be witnesses to the whole world, preaching the Gospel through the way we live.

We Bear Witness to Others, Calling Them to a Life of Love

The call of discipleship is not one for “the, few and the proud,” as the Marines’ slogan goes. Rather, Christ calls each and every one of us… Christ calls everyone to Himself, because He wants everyone to get to heaven, and He knows that He is “the Way, the Truth and the Life” (Jn. 14:6). He is the source of salvation. And it is our duty as disciples who have answered the call to help others hear it and respond as well.

First, we must be imbued with the Scripture. It is there that we hear Him speak to us directly. There, He tells us who He is and how we are to live if we want to be fulfilled and happy. We must read the Scriptures daily.

We must participate in the Sacraments often, recognizing that it is there that we gain His grace to live the way He wants us to.

And then, we must live accordingly, bearing witness to the Gospel, proclaiming the good news, and calling others to a life of love and service and true fulfillment in Christ our Savior.

May we all have the strength and the courage to answer the call, and to give ourselves fully – our time, our talent, and our treasure – to the cause, living solely to glorify God!
