The WORD today (See http://usccb.org/bible/readings/101813.cfm) reminds me that we should inspire and enable others to be workers of God.
In the first reading, we see St Paul, probably the greatest evangelist, writing a letter to Timothy. He mentioned that only Luke was with him as he was working. And St Luke, whose feast day we are celebrating today, became one of the four writers of the gospel, grew in faith as he learned from the best. St Paul was able to successfully train and inspire him to be an evangelist himself.
In the gospel, we again are reminded of God's call to us to be fishers of men. He calls each and everyone of us to work for him, no matter how big or small, how grand or how simple our ways are. And as we work for him, we should also desire to inspire others to do as well, and to train others to work for Him as well.
Father God,
Thank you for today. Thank you for fridays! Thank you for constant opportunities to love and serve you. Thank you for the reminder to serve you. Lord, i pray that you give me a heart that desires to serve you, as as I do so, in my little way, may I also inspire others to do so. Amen.
Blessed weekend!
In Christ,
