OUR LIFE IS OUR MESSAGE!

Once St. Francis d’ Assisi invited a young monk to join him on a trip to the local village to preach. Honoured to be asked and excited to learn from the master, the monk readily accepted. All day long, he and Francis walked through the streets caring for the needs of the poor and helpless along the way. They rubbed shoulders with hundreds of people. At the day’s end, the two headed back home. 

Not even once had Francis addressed the gathered crowds, nor had he liked to anyone about the gospel. 

Greatly disappointed, his young companion said, “I thought we were going into town to preach.” 

Francis responded, “My son, we did preach. We were preaching while we were walking. We were watched by many and our behaviour was closely observed. It is of no use to walk anywhere to preach unless we preach everywhere as we walked!” 

We are preachers everyday. People will believe what we do, long before the messages we preach.
