Today we say that we have a shortage of “signs” of God: miracles and extraordinary cures and happenings.
True we do not have the signs and wonders which accompanied the ministry and preaching of Jesus and of the apostles in the early Church.
Though we may not have such miracles and wonders, we still see and hear about so many wonders and signs of God’s saving love. We see selfless missionaries, clerics, religious and lay, generously preaching the Good News not only in their ordinary lives but even in far-away mission territories. We see generous volunteers visiting the sick and the aged, those in prison and in the slums, providing needed help and bringing hope. We have very generous benefactors feeding the hungry, educating the youth and giving hope to victims of violence and abuse.
Indeed there are so many signs of the Lord God working and accompanying people and the world, if only we could read and see them.
We pray that the Good News be lived more and more even in our days and that we do our share of living and preaching the Good News of Christ’s salvation.
