Can I Getta Amen

178: Remaining in Jesus with Fr. Brice Higginbotham


Listen Later

Fr. Brice Higginbotham is back in Holy Spirit Studios with us, and this week's episode can be summed up beautifully from an excerpt from Father's new book (page 21-22):
" We, too, in witnessing to others, must proclaim the newness of relationship with Jesus Christ. But if we are going to be effective, we must show how Christ is the fulfillment of our friends' longing. Pope John Paul II pointed this out not so long ago:
'It is Jesus in fact that you seek when you dream of happiness; he is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; he is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is he who provokes you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is he who urges you to shed the masks of a false life; it is he who reads in your hearts your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle. It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with your lives, the will to follow an ideal, the refusal to allow yourselves to be ground down by mediocrity, the courage to commit yourselves humbly and patiently to improving yourselves and society, making the world more human and more fraternal.'
Because he loves the other person, the disciple begins where the other is and tries, by God's grace, to walk with her on the path to belief in Jesus. This is how disciples share Jesus with others."
