One Person at a Time ~ by Vivian Sullivan

In the gospel today, John the Baptist exhorts us to prepare for the coming of Christ. To this end Isaiah speaks of the dream fulfilled and the unity of all God's creation. St. Francis of Assisi personified this by becoming the personal caretaker of animals, the lowliest of God's creatures.

Similarly, the call to bring salvation to all requires that we put this into practice by being good to one another. We must start our journey by being repentant and by being willing to share and serve. We were chosen to build the Kingdom of God here on earth. Making a difference in some one's life brings happiness to the receiver and forces us to respond to the needs of others. We build the kingdom of God one person at a time.
