By our Baptism, we are called to share the Good News. We are called to be prophets - but being a prophet isn’t easy! There will be skeptics and doubters. There will be people who vehemently disagree. People will look at our past - they will look at our failings and point out our faults - all in an attempt to discredit us and call into question anything we say. But we have to remember the words of St. Paul and understand there is strength in weakness. We need to simply accept and embrace our weaknesses and those things will no longer control us. The Lord’s grace will be with us and it will suffice. And even though we continue to fall short from time to time, we can take comfort in the fact that even Jesus was rejected sometimes!
