| Why have you responded to the call to fulfill your role in the magazine? | ||||||
| St. Jerome once said, "It is our part to seek, His to grant what we ask; ours to make a beginning, His to bring it to completion; ours to offer what we can, His to finish what we cannot." I suppose the opportunity to "offer what I can" to my Church through this medium was way too good to pass up! Hopefully it will have some small part to play in bringing each of us to completion in Christ. | ||||||
