"Give glory to the Name of God by word and example so that in all of what people say and hear of you they may be induced to say, "Glory be to God! Praise be to Jesus Christ!" Catherine wrote these word so many years ago and yet there is something that is a message for us today.
I recall teaching in a school where there was a dad who had a good job, great home and lots of friends. Unfortunately his choice of words left a lot to be desired. One day a woman remarked to him that she would have never known that he was Catholic by the words he used. It left a deep impression on him and he cleaned up his language.
What example do you give? Would people think of God when they hear you speak or see you in action? What might you need to change in your life?
If we are to be followers of Christ, we need to let our words and deeds be our witness to the Gospel.
