Almost the first word of Our Lord’s public life was “come” (John 1:39, Mark 1:17, Matthew 4:18). The final word of his public life was “go” into the world (John 20:21, Matthew 28:19, Acts 1:18). First one must come to him to learn, to be inspired, to find the ultimate goal of life, to discover meaning, purposes, the significance of justice and liberty. Then go among the nations, go to accomplish, go to serve, to wash feet, to feed the hungry, to establish equality, to pick up the wounded like good Samaritans.
~ Fulton J. Sheen, Footprints in a Darkened Forest
