“When they hand you over, do not worry about how you are to speak,
or what you are to say. You will be given at that moment what you are to say. For it will not be
you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.” Matthew 10:19-20. Pope
Benedict XVI said, “We cannot keep to ourselves the words of eternal life given to us in our
encounter with Jesus Christ: they are meant for everyone, for every man and woman . . . It is our
responsibility to pass on what, by God’s grace, we ourselves have received.” Let us pray,
Heavenly Father, even in our daily lives, may You speak through us. We compose, we think we
must say this or that. Yet in our striving, may You win out. Be our light, our wisdom. May we
bear You to the world today. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
