From the gospel for the second Sunday of Ordinary Time: “So they went and saw where Jesus was staying, and they stayed with him that day. . . Andrew . . . was one of the two who . . . followed Jesus. He first found his own brother Simon and told him, ‘We have found the Messiah.'"

From De La Salle’s Meditations: “Because you are ambassadors and ministers of Jesus Christ in the work that you do, you must act as representing Jesus Christ." (195.2)

It did not take very long at all for the first disciples to see and understand that Jesus was the Messiah whom they sought. We are to represent that same Messiah.

When students come into your learning space, do they follow you and quickly perceive that you are the ambassador and minister of the Messiah? In the way that you live out your vocation, are they inspired to further seek their own calling from God?

Live, Jesus, in our hearts!
