"In the world you will have trouble, but take courage, I have conquered the world." (Jn 16:23). As we look at the world today, even our own little "worlds" of families, workplaces and communities, we need the reassurance that, indeed, though things seem bad, impossible, Jesus will prevail. And the Jesus who prevails is the Jesus working through us. Yesterday at the St. Anselm College graduation, several amazing people were honored for their contributions to medicine, and service to others. It brought home what we can do when Jesus works with us and when we set ideas and people in motion. One honoree began the first four year nursing training \program in Haiti, another came up with a serum that is eliminating meningitis in sub-Saharan Africa, another changed the face of St. Anselm College itself, moving it to a top place among small colleges. Among the graduates awaiting their diplomas sat more of these kinds of people who in time will help "conquer the world."
No matter where we are or who we are, we can make a difference if we let Jesus work in us.
