We must always be prepared to testify of our faith

Dr. Roberto Miranda
(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: The speaker reflects on his experience speaking at an ecumenical service with President Obama and other dignitaries in attendance. He shares three lessons he learned from the experience. First, always be prepared to testify about your faith. Second, don't let fear stop you from doing what God wants you to do. Third, always be guided by the Holy Spirit and be alert to his voice in your life. He emphasizes the importance of being rooted in the word of God and not seeking personal glory in ministry.

The author discusses the issue of ego in the ministry and emphasizes that God is the one who calls and lifts people up, not man. He also talks about the importance of being tactful in sharing the Gospel, especially during times of tragedy and fear, and not giving a word of condemnation or judgment. The author explains that there are three players in the drama of history - God, Satan, and humanity - and that the interaction between these powers results in the good and evil events that happen in the world. Ultimately, the author emphasizes the importance of humanity humbling themselves before God and appealing to Christ to subdue the powers of the devil.


Pope Francis reflects on the Boston Marathon bombing and the role of the Church in guiding humanity through times of turmoil. He emphasizes the importance of presenting a God of love and mercy to those in need, while acknowledging the existence of evil in the world. He warns against secretly enjoying the suffering of others and urges Christians to prepare themselves to save lives and announce the power of God's love. He concludes with a prayer of thanksgiving and blessings for the congregation.


I want to talk about this experience that I had Thursday morning at this ecumenical service here at the Boston Cathedral where, as you know, the president and a number of other dignitaries were there, and I was allowed to offer a reflection, a meditation regarding this terrible terrorist incident that we experienced here in the city of Boston.

I have been thinking about it and as you know, on Sunday we had some glorious services where the congregation was able to express their hearts and it was a healing time and as a church, I think we had a very therapeutic, very healing time as a church.
