Reflection

This personal experience of the lay pastoral ministers who have been and are still, accompanied and assisted by others, teaches them to be patient and compassionate with the disciples they are called to accompany, ‘to find the right way to gain their trust, their openness and their readiness to grow.’

Let us learn to rest in the tenderness of the arms of the Father amid our creative and generous commitment. Let us keep marching forward: let us give him everything, allowing him to make our efforts bear fruit in his good time.
