Overview
One of my professors in diaconal formation paraphrased an anonymous poem and made a point that has stayed with me over the years: each of us is writing a gospel, little by little, day by day. It is the gospel of you; the gospel of me - for each of our lives is a living gospel. And by writing our gospel we are making Jesus present in our world. We are doing with our lives and our actions what Father will do with his hands when he consecrates and elevates the Eucharist. In the end, our gospel can be truly beautiful. But how it turns out depends on our understanding of what Jesus wants from us, and how we translate that understanding into the way we interact with others and live out our lives. So, what kind of gospel are we writing today?
