“When we think of service, we need to open our minds and recognize that it is first and foremost about sharing Jesus by being Jesus to others. We are called to share the gift we’ve been given through our encounter with him by doing what he did: giving of ourselves, sacrificially, to others. Sometimes this includes tangible works of service—the mission trip, the Habitat for Humanity build, or the yard work. Sometimes it involves simply being with other people, listening and sharing—a true ministry of presence, serving them by sharing time and space with them. And sometimes it involves giving testimony and witness to your faith in and relationship with Jesus, even when it’s challenging, scary, or could cause you discomfort.”

“If you’ve come to meet and know Jesus because you’ve talked to him in prayer, seen his life as you’ve read the Bible, and been fueled by the transforming grace bestowed upon you in the sacraments, then you can’t keep that to yourself. Your encounter with Jesus is one that must be shared. The lifting of your heart, the listening to his Word, and the reception of perfect sacramental gifts compel you to share Jesus with others. You’ve been transformed by your encounter with him, and that gives you immeasurable strength to then serve him—and others—in the most perfect way possible: by witnessing to who Jesus is and helping others meet him too.”
