Missionary Love: A Journey Through Lent

Today, I was deeply moved by this quote in Delexit nos:

To be able to speak of Christ, by witness or by word, in such a way that others seek to love him, is the greatest desire of every missionary of souls. This dynamism of love has nothing to do with proselytism; the words of a lover do not disturb others, they do not make demands or oblige, they only lead others to marvel at such love. With immense respect for their freedom and dignity, the lover simply waits for them to inquire about the love that has filled his or her life with such great joy (210).

Perhaps this is the difference between volunteers and disciples. This is the difference between saints and those who work in the church.

Our mission work is rooted in love. Every thing we do should radiate Christ. A beautiful thought as we begin Lent.

Lent has its logic in the context of Easter. Lent leads us to the Cross and Resurrection. Let us be on our way. Missionaries of love and for love.

    Do you want to speak the praise of God? Then be yourselves what you speak. If you lead good lives, you are God’s praises.
    St. Augustine of Hippo
