Dear Companions on the Way,

Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation. —Mark 16:14

It is quite clear that we are repeatedly exhorted to proclaim the good news of God in Christ, of his Resurrection and the gift of eternal life. I admire those who can do that boldly.

But I am an introvert, quietly content in my own corner. I’m not going door-to-door to preach the gospel; no street corner witness for me. I have to find other ways to share the good news which has shaped my life.

So how can I do that? I know from experience that something as simple as a smile, an encouraging word, a hug or a greeting card can bear witness to the deep undercurrent of love which sustains our lives. That love, given to us so freely, overflows to others by actions and words.

I believe God works in that way, too, through us introverts.

Faithfully,

—Chotard
