Reflection for June 28

What is one of the best ways to share our faith with others? Smile. I think that’s the best witness we can make. If we would like people to discover what we have found in our belief system, then show them a smile, because if we have nothing to smile about, we have little to believe in. People who say they are religious but seem constantly unhappy or angry strike me as a spiritual oxymoron. Our deepest joy comes from the peace we feel in a love we practice with confidence. Of course we know moments of sorrow, but we also know how to live through them. That’s worth a smile (Bishop Steven Charleston, via Facebook).
