Living in the Word of God “Hear the Word of God and Do It”
The disciple lives from the mercy of God. The Lord calls us precisely in our weakness, and mercifully bestows up-on us all the gifts we need for the ful-
fillment of our Christian calling. Our need for mercy is espe-cially clear as we strive to do God’s Word through worship, witness and service. True worship, especially through celebra-tion of the Eucharist, requires that we examine our way of liv-ing so as first to seek forgiveness and reconciliation (cf. 1Corin-thians 11:27-29). Credible witness demands that we be healed of any sinful ways of living that do not correspond to what we profess to believe. Joyful service of others rises when God’s mercy heals us of sin that closes us in upon ourselves. (Archbishop Smith, Pastoral Letter, September 14, 2017) caedm.ca/letter
