Mission to Inspire

"The Mass is over. Your mission begins."

That was about two decades ago when I heard a priest proclaim this invitation to the congregation. Thus, the beginning of my life-long journey to discover the Creator's grand purpose for my being.

In 1995, I shared a collective mission with the World Youth Day participants: "To bring the message to everyone in a voice loud and clear: Tell the world of His love."

Ten years later, I was blessed by Rick Warren's "The Purpose Driven Life." Reading and reflecting on the questions at the end of each chapter allowed me to focus in and draft my life statement.

At the close of this year, I praise and thank the Lord for bringing me another step closer to discovering my path. When He delivered me to His Course on Faith, my MISSION TO INSPIRE was unfolded:

Born to love and serve the Lord,
I take delight in proclaiming His Word
And being a fountain of joy
To those around me.

This is just the beginning...
