A Call For You

THE CALL TO MINISTRY
TO SERVE IN THE SPIRIT OF JESUS IS
TO GROW IN FAITH
TO KNOW CHRIST  …  AND TO MAKE HIM BETTER KNOWN
I will do more than belong, I will participate.
I will do more than care, I will help.
I will do more than believe, I will practice.
I will do more than be fair, I will be kind.
I will do more than forgive, I will forget.
I will do more than give, I will serve.
I will do more than teach, I will inspire.
I will do more than be friendly, I will be a friend.
I will do more than live, I will grow.
I will do more than dream, I will work
[The above was a hand-out given by Father Padraig Greene at our parish ministry faire.  There are multiple versions (of the poem / prose), with minor variations, online with various attributions.  They include: Edith Hensley, Edward Everett Hale and William Arthur Ward.  I don’t know which is the original version or author.    —    KMAB]
