JESUS MAFA. The good shepherd, from Art in the Christian Tradition, a project of the Vanderbilt Divinity Library, Nashville, TN. http://diglib.library.vanderbilt.edu/act-imagelink.pl?RC=48288 [retrieved August 24, 2014].
Simon Peter said in reply, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Matthew 16:15-16
My words, attitudes, behaviors, and actions are all that I have to proclaim Jesus as the Christ.
Does my way of being in the world proclaim compassion? forgiveness? nonviolence? humility? healing? community?
To those I know and those I don’t know, am I a loving presence ? respectful? courteous? generous?
Do I speak words that encourage? lift up? give hope? inspire?
How will I proclaim Jesus the Christ today?

Mary,
I have not known what it is about our blog, that brings me such peace. I await your post every Sunday. As I was reading this post I understood what it is. You proclaim Christ so well. All of your words inspire me, and the way you write brings such peace. I thank you so much for your beautiful soul, how I await to see it weekly. God Bless, SR

Great food for thought for me. I call Christ my Lord and Savior. Do my thoughts, words, actions–my attitude in living add up to this. Not always. Let this be my guide. Thank you, dear heart!

Wouldn’t it be nice to be perfect as our Heavenly Father is perfect?
