As baptized followers of Christ, we are all called to be missionaries! This week, we reflect on what it means to live as missionaries in our everyday lives—whether at home, work, or in our communities.

How can we embrace our mission to share Christ with others, simply by the way we live? How can we be intentional in sharing o...
