Ambassadors for Christ

I once met a man who was in his nineties. His hair was white, his body frail, but his voice was strong and his gaze piercing. He looked directly at me, and asked for the name of the church I attended. He told me he was a retired deacon, but quickly added that you never truly retire from ministry work. His words still resonate with me, "Never forget that you are an ambassador for Christ."

We have a mission to share the message of God's saving love with others. We cannot be good representatives if we don’t possess knowledge and understanding of this Good News. Lent is an opportune time to be reconciled with God; to delve into the truth of God's great love for us. We have been entrusted with a treasure. May we be ambassadors for Christ in all we do and say.
