Send us out to be your hands and feet
Yesterday, I visited two friends at KU. They live in the house owned by the Catholic Center on campus. In the afternoon, someone decided to take a nap under one of the many trees in their front lawn. One of my friends kept jokingly saying they should go out there and do something to him... wake him up, something. Every time he suggested doing something, I said “This is how people get bad opinions of the Catholic Church!” Since it is pretty well known that the house is owned by the Catholic Center. It was enough to keep him from leaving the sleeping dude alone.
During tonight’s song, I started wondering... how would my life be different, how differently would I act if everything I did was a reflection of the Catholic Church. What would be different if everyone knew I was Catholic and their only opinion of the Catholic Church came from how I acted towards them? I’d like to say that my life wouldn’t be different at all, but that would be a lie. Too often, I’m not all that Christ-like. But life is all about trying to make myself better. And now that I can name my problem, I can be better about solving it. With God’s help, of course!
