Titus 2:7-8
In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.
Today’s reading again emphasizes how important it is to set a good example for others. How we live our lives at home, while alone or as part of a family, reflects our faith and our belief system. This reminds me of something Richard said in one of our meetings. He was pointing out that we all have a purpose here on earth and for some it may be to live a quiet and faithful life. Relating this to today’s reading, this life is then seen by others, and sets an example. It may not appear to be a life filled with good works or miracles, but it is just how God intended for it to be, because it is filled with faith and love.
Holy Lord, I pray that my life is seen by others as morally upright and faithful to your word. I am not a mentor in the strict sense of the word, but would hope be a help in some way, for others who seek you. Amen
