You don't need to be a priest to bring people to God
Through baptism, you already have a role in this.
It is easy to think that bringing others closer to God is only for priests or very religious people, and that everyone else just attends. It isn't like that. Through baptism, every Christian shares in their own way in the priesthood of Christ: called to connect God and others.
That isn't done with grand speeches, but through daily life: sincere friendship, example, a timely word, praying for your loved ones. A father, a friend, a coworker can bring people to God while remaining who they are.
And it is not an optional extra: it is part of your baptismal vocation, just as real as that of the priest in his own way. A small and concrete mission, right where you are, with the people right beside you.
Key idea
Every baptized person is called to bring others closer to God through their life.
Your challenge for this idea
Think of someone close to you. Do something concrete today to bring them a little closer to God: pray for them, listen, invite them.
