As Christian Sisters and Brothers, we are here to make a difference in the lives of people with whom our lives intersect. It is not about building our reputation, portfolio or resume, and certainly not for our power and influence. There is nothing better than to be iron that sharpens iron. Be a mentor. Be a friend. Be a neighbor. When we are present, compassionate, and helpful, it makes a difference in lives. When it is through our witness or influence that a person becomes Christ’s follower, we have made an eternal difference in a life, a family and the world.
