YOU AND THE NATIONS
"I will make you a light to the nations, that My salvation may reach to
the ends of the earth." —Isaiah 49:6
God has raised up multitudes of incredibly zealous and dedicated people
who for years have passed on One Bread, One Body to others because of
their love of God's word and of Holy Mass. Through God's grace, these
teachings "become known afar off" (Sir 24:30) and, incredibly, reach many
throughout the world. The Lord has raised up others who type, edit, print,
post, and link these teachings for the world to read. All of these blessed
people are "a light to the nations." God has enabled our humble ministry
to reach "to the ends of the earth" (Is 49:6).
What about you? Do you consider yourself too insignificant for Almighty
God to use powerfully? We are all unworthy to serve Jesus (Acts 13:25),
but that doesn't stop God from using us powerfully. You are, like St. John
the Baptizer, a prophet by virtue of your baptism (Catechism, 1268). You
are even greater than John (Mt 11:11). God is telling you: "You are My
servant...through whom I show My glory" (Is 49:3). Allow the Lord to shine
through you as He wills.
Prayer: Father, I am totally Yours. Be glorified through my life.
Promise: "His mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he began to
speak in praise of God." —Lk 1:64
Praise: St. John the Baptizer gave encouragement to his mother and praise
to his Savior even before he was born.
