When Christ chose 12 apostles to work closely with him in his mission of human redemption, (cfr. Mt 10,1-7) we are reminded that Christ actually wants all of us to continue with his work of human redemption, imparting the true life meant for us to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can be gleaned from the very words of Christ himself: \u201cI am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.\u201d (Jn 10,10) Let\u2019s always remember that God wants to share what he has with us, image and likeness of his that we are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As St. John in his gospel put it, \u201cIn him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.\u201d (1,4) We have to understand those words as Christ being the source of light for us, of doctrines that tell us the whole truth about ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need to realize that we too have been called by Christ to communicate to the others what truly matters to all of us in our relation with God. We ought to carry this task in all the circumstances when we are with others, always trying to win their friendship and confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have to learn how to let others know that they can have the true life with God by praying, by availing of the sacraments, and by doing everything in their daily routine with God and for God. Like Christ, we can give the others accompaniment, understanding, consolation and encouragement in their daily drama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we look closely at the lives of saints, we will discover that Christ was the source and root of their lives. Because of that, we should see and be inspired by their generous self-giving to others, in spite of their limitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their heroic virtues that cost them a lot reflected the ever-available mercy and care of God for them and for everybody else. This would also lead them to see Christ in others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be truly heroic, what is simply needed is that we are truly burning with love for God and for others even in the most ordinary things in life. This kind of heroism can even be more heroic and meritorious since it would require constant prodding of our will which can easily fall into complacency and into all kinds of rationalizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is how we can give the real life of God to others. (Fr. Roy Cimagala)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
