Ambassadors for Christ

Father shared with us Pope Francis' message to the youth of the world at the last World Youth Day. Pope Francis urged us to be Ambassadors for Christ. In order to do this, he gave us 3 suggestions.

Firstly, to include prayer in our lives. Next, to nourish ourselves with the Sacraments. Lastly, to reach out to others. As I look back on the last few years of my life, I find that I have distanced myself from daily prayer. Now that the daily commute to work is no longer part of my life, of which I spend most of the time in prayer, I have left out prayer altogether... I wonder if this is the cause of my constant feelings of sadness and nights of disruptive sleep...

Being an ambassador for Christ has been the last thing on my mind recently and as I ponder on the words of Pope Francis, I realised that I should act on this call. Though I am unsure of what the future holds, I pray that God will guide me as I attempt to offer up everyday in prayer. May the Holy Spirit lead me and help me do my part to build God's Kingdom here on earth, to be an ambassador for Christ.
