"Proclaim the Good News"

The Good News is summed up at the start of the Lord's Prayer: 'Our Father". 

Each one of us is a child of God. That is our radical identity. 

I am Son of God. Beloved, as in St Mark's Gospel, we hear at the baptism of Jesus.

We are all one family. If only we lived that. What a different world we would be in.

The best way to proclaim the Good News is by living like a child of God - with love for all.

As that cynical Fredrick Nietzsche  said, "I might believe in the Redeemer of his followers looked more redeemed". So, let us show we are redeemed. Let us live joyfully in hope.

A positive mindset helps to spread optimism wherever we are. Our world is like a chessboard, with its black and white squares. I see the black but concentrate on the white.

Proclaiming the Good News slow down my ageing.
