Conversation is the real lay apostolate. "Go out and teach all nations," said Christ to His disciples. His disciples are the arteries of culture and civilization, the arteries of His Mystical Body. But you and I, the ordinary talkers, must be the capillaries that carry the gospel of the good, the true, the beautiful to the outermost and lowliest members of the human race — to everyone we meet along life's way. Our ambition will be to live up to St. Paul's instruction: "Your manner of speaking must always be gracious, with an edge of liveliness, ready to give each questioner the right answer." The world is a collection of souls all groping for the right answer. As good conversationalists we will throw sweetness and light into the troubled anxiety of our fellow men. |
