If we do not feel an intense desire to share this love, we need to pray insistently that he will once more touch our hearts. We need to implore his grace daily, asking him to open our cold hearts and shake up our lukewarm and superficial existence.<\/strong> \u2014POPE FRANCIS, <em>Evangelii Gaudium, <\/em>n. 264<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">In today&#8217;s first reading, St. John rhetorically asks:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono; font-size: small;\">Who indeed is the victor over the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">To &#8220;believe&#8221; is not merely acknowledging that Jesus lived 2000 years ago, but that He lives <em>now<\/em> in me as Lord and Savior, Healer and Consoler. It is to believe and <em>trust<\/em> that<em> I am loved<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">Do you believe that you are loved? Do you believe that Jesus wishes to heal and console you? He answers you in today&#8217;s Gospel:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono; font-size: small;\">I do will it. Be made clean.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">Knowing that He truly has your happiness at heart, only then does &#8220;<em>perfect love<\/em>&#8221; begin to drive out fear because you have begun to trust in His will. And when fear dissipates, <em>victory<\/em> over the world becomes tangible; confidence and boldness grows; love and zeal are set aflame\u2014all this, despite your remaining faults.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong>We are not asked to be flawless, but to keep growing and wanting to grow as we advance along the path of the Gospel; our arms must never grow slack. What is essential is that the preacher be certain that God loves him, that Jesus Christ has saved him and that his love always has the last word. Encountering such beauty, he will often feel that his life does not glorify God as it should, and he will sincerely desire to respond more fully to so great a love. Yet if he does not take time to hear God\u2019s word with an open heart, if he does not allow it to touch his life, to challenge him, to impel him, and if he does not devote time to pray with that word, then he will indeed be a false prophet, a fraud, a shallow impostor. <\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-size: small;\"> \u2014POPE FRANCIS<em>, Evangelii Gaudium, <\/em>n. 151<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">Even Jesus, as we read in the Gospel, &#8220;<em>would withdraw to deserted places to pray<\/em>.&#8221; The Christian who wants to share more and more of Jesus must become a person of prayer, for it not only fills him with grace, but reveals how much he <em>needs <\/em>grace to do anything good for God. Yet&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong>&#8230;by acknowledging his poverty and desiring to grow in his commitment, he will always be able to abandon himself to Christ, saying in the words of Peter: \u201cI have no silver and gold, but what I have I give you\u201d<\/strong> (<i>Acts<\/i> 3:6). \u2014POPE FRANCIS<em>, Evangelii Gaudium, <\/em>n. 151<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">How did the leper feel in today&#8217;s Gospel when, immediately after healing him, Jesus wastes no time sending him off to share the good news with the temple priest? As it says in the Psalm:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono; font-size: small;\">He sends forth his command to the earth; swiftly runs his word!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">What difference did the leper feel he could make without catechesis, training, and a Masters in Divinity? But Jesus does not ask him to give anymore than he can, noting that &#8220;<em>that will be proof for them<\/em>.&#8221; The leper did, and&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono; font-size: small;\">The report about [Jesus] spread all the more, and great crowds assembled to listen to him and to be cured of their ailments&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">You see, you do not need to be a theologian to be a missionary. You just need to be in love! You do not have to be an expert apologist; just share with others what you have been freely given by the Lord.
