Think of a person whose intentional influence on your life helped shaped who you are today? A parent? A teacher? A friend? A fellow worker? That person was a mentor. A mentor is a person in your life who helps you develop, helps you become the person our Lord wants you to be, by passing the baton of faith and life practices. You also can be a mentor in turn as you deliberately invest yourself in the lives of others. Be a mentor – pass the baton to others of what God has given to you – and tell your own mentors how much you appreciate them!
