What does it mean to be a Christian today? Perhaps each one has their own answer. A general response might be to be an authentic disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ, following in His footsteps. This means not only walking in His shadows in word and deed but also continuing the mission He entrusted to His disciples two thousand years ago. Now it is our turn to continue Jesus’ mission. This Sunday's liturgical readings, especially the Gospel, remind us that our job as followers of Jesus is to continue His work, particularly in bringing reconciliation and peace to the world.
