Deep in the Heart – An Invitation

Cribbed from the bulletin of St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church, Rio Rancho, NM (author unknown)

A nurse on the pediatric ward, before listening to the little ones’ chests, would plug the stethoscope into their ears and let them listen to their own hearts.  Their eyes would always light up with awe, but she never got a response equal to four-year old David’s comment.

Gently she tucked the stethoscope into his ears and placed the disk oner his heart. “Listen,” she said……”What do you suppose that is?” she said He drew his eyebrows together in a puzzled line and looked up as if lost in the mystery of the strange tap -tap- tapping deep in his chest.

Then his face broke out in a wondrous grin and he asked, “Is that Jesus knocking?”

We Live Evangelizing – It’s Good News!

In speaking of Evangelization, Cardinal Arinze said:

“It is one thing to impose our Faith. It is quite another matter to propose our Faith. The first we should not do. The second, we should do. That is we should propose our Faith. Our Faith is not a black market article. It is not a contraband good. It is not a forbidden atticle. It is not poison. It is the best news on earth. It is good news. Indeed, the word ‘evangelium’, ‘gospel’, is ‘good news’. So why keep all the good news for yourself? You really believe that Jeaus Christ saved all of us? You really believe that He inaugurated the Kingdom of God and you don’t want to share it with anybody?! You want to go to Heaven, just you,yourself, alone! Certainly not! ….We are going to aim at nothing short of sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with as many people as would be willing to accept it. We impose it on nobody, but we propose it because it’s good news. It’s good news! ”
