Go!

“Magnificat anima mea Dominum”

We are the bearers of Christ’s love for the world.

A love that compels us to get up and do!

How can we love our neighbor if we do not go to them?

How can we be filled with Christ’s love and sit still?

If Christ’s love is in us, sitting still is the last thing we can do! We must go!

The love like no other, the love only present when God joins us, stirs our soul.

As the incarnate God approaches, oh so close, our soul leaps!

As John leapt in Elizabeth’s womb at the approach of Mary.

The infinite love of God is so close, we become restless.

We must go!

We must go, and proclaim this blessed news!

We must go, and serve the poor and homeless!

We must go, and feed those who hunger!

We must go, and clothe the naked!

We must go, to embrace the stranger!

We must go, and give voice to the voiceless!

We must go, and be present to the very least!

We must go, and stand for those on the margins!

We must go, in love as Christ loved us.

Is it daunting to go into the world with the love of Christ? Yes.

But we will go, for Christ goes with us.
