ON THE COVER:  Paschal candle.

From Inside ML: Welcome to ML’s Year 36. This year we join the universal church in celebrating the year of Paul, as ML continues the journey of deliberate discipleship. Emboldened by the certainty of new life in Christ, and assured of the validity of our ministry by baptism, we are called now to walk with Paul in the unity of the Holy Spirit. ML will explore the gifts we have been given, and reflecting on St. Paul’s charism, will work “to equip the holy ones for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ” (Eph 4:12). Throughout the year, we will consider ways to be more visible signs of Christ in the world and how to sustain our Christian communities. We will reflect on conversion experiences and how the Holy Spirit calls us to be courageous witnesses in an increasingly secular world. We will look for inspired ways to bring the gospel to life in our society. Together, we will move beyond divisions to focus on a unified discipleship committed to service in Christ.(More)
