Beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, in this sacred hour, I ask you not merely to listen, but to open your hearts to the spirit, to the word, and to the call of our savior, Jesus Christ. We live in a time unlike any other. A time when messages travel faster than thought, when ideas flash across the globe in the blink of an eye. The digital age is upon us. Some look at it and see danger. Others see distraction, but I tell you today, see it as your mission field. Jesus needs you in the digital age. He needs you now more than ever to be a witness anywhere, any time. Your faith, rooted in the gospel and nourished by the sacraments, can change the world. The words of our Lord resound as clearly today as they did 2,000 years ago. You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Matthew
