“Having personally accepted God’s offer of salvation and joined the family of God, may we be servant leaders in the church and in the world who look closely to see God’s presence in our lives and listen carefully to hear what God speaks to our hearts. May we prepare the soil of our lives so that we bear more abundant fruit by becoming more committed disciples of Jesus Christ and by evangelizing others as we share the joy of the Gospel,” synopsis by Bishop Thomas Zinkula of his RAGBRAI homilies.
