You would expect that the followers of Jesus would have a more positive attitude, but that is not the attitude we hear in the beginning of today’s Gospel. I found this prayer by an unknown author that I would like to share with you:

Proclaim the word; be persistent whether it is convenient or inconvenient; convince, reprimand, encourage through all patience and teaching. ~ 2 Timothy 4:2 Our text reveals to us an indisputable command to tell others about the love of Jesus at all times. As a songwriter puts it: “We must arise…there is no time to waste.
