"Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples."
Evanglize. Sometimes this word frightens people. But it is what we are sent to do: to tell the Good News. Has knowing God, having Jesus as your Lord, changed your life? Has it transformed you? Is it in the process of transforming you? Then, tell that good news. Live that good news.
We promise to share the good news of new life in Jesus through both word and deed in our baptism and confirmation vows. The Psalmist proclaims it as our role as God's people. It is the very thing Peter does; he tells his story of transformation. And because Peter shares his story, people's lives are changed. Their behavior is transformed. The door to salvation is burst open by the human hands which once held it closed to Gentiles, outsiders, the "others."
Sharing our story of transformation in Jesus---both by how we interact and react in the world, and by our words and choices---this is how the world will know, how others will come to believe and know. Share your story.
