Day 353: Sharing the Gospel (2024)Fr. Mike Schmitz emphasizes the importance of sharing the Gospel and personal testimonies, citing 1 Peter 3:15 which stresses the need to be prepared to explain one's faith with gentleness. He reflects on the encouragement Paul finds in the faith of the Thessalonians, highlighting that true discipleship involves sharing one's life along with the Gospel message. Today's readings from 1 Peter and 1 Thessalonians urge believers to engage in loving community support as a means of enhancing their spiritual journey and the mission of spreading Christianity.
- Sharing the Gospel requires both readiness to explain faith and an openness to share personal journeys, creating a deeper connection with others.
