- I asked
myself what I could do to be a transforming presence in my milieu? What
extraordinary thing could I do to proclaim Christ to others? I started
by living the charity of Christ and to become a being of service at
work, in my pharmacy. Every day, I meet dozens of people. I have a great
deal of respect for them and I try to establish fraternal relationships
because they are the face through which Christ reveals himself to me.
I came to understand that I can prescribe medication either with love
or indifference. With love, I can give others advice, encourage them
whenever they are in distress, show interest in the state of their health
and even their life.
- My apostolic
project is first among the population of my school environment. In this
lay milieu, I welcome each child and, through the child, I welcome his/her
family. It is important that each child be convinced that he/she has
value, no matter what results they may have (especially if they have
failed!), that each one stand tall, this is my daily struggle. I believe
that God has entrusted to me, like he has to other humans, a creation
to fulfil. By striving to give children the foundations they need to
grow, I participate in the fulfilment of creation, both for them as
well as for me. I cannot tell them that they are created in God’s
image and that this dignity is greater than any outward appearance but
I hope that they will grasp something of the sort by my attitude.
- I try to simply witness my faith, my joy and my love to others and to put my sense of responsibility, availability and gratuity at the service of my brothers and sisters. This is how I try to use the material goods according to the views of the Creator who has entrusted them to us. When I try to look for ways of manifesting the love of God, I feel called to limit the use of non renewable resources so that future generations will inherit a world that will be sustain their life.
