We, as laity in the Church, can no longer take our role lightly. The future of our society is in our hands. We must realize that we, as individuals, can have a great impact on our society. More importantly, we can have an even greater impact when we find other individuals that are ready and able to accept the challenge.

But most of all, our Lord wants us to be apostolic.

Let us strive to be Christ-like. He chose individuals to become "fishers of men." Should we do any less?
