Article 1 Everyday Evangelism: Christ in You You are called not so much to do great things, as to be a great person--and that

person is Jesus Christ. The Church is the resident presence of Jesus in the world. No matter how big church attendance is on Sunday, it will never penetrate the culture with Jesus. The reason is clear: The church on Sunday is experienced by the church community; it is only observed by the unbelieving community. However, Monday through Saturday, the church operates in the experience of non-believers. It lives on their turf, moves in their society, and operates in their culture. On Monday Jesus becomes incarnate through you. And because He can be seen and touched, He can be received or rejected. True evangelism is possible. Reflection This reflects Jesus Christ because it tells us how people who believe are already in touch with god and people who dont believe only observe but may feel the presence of god tomorrow. It also shows how god does not force people to listen to him, but shows signs to inspire us. Jesus is like this too because Jesus does the exact same thing. Disbelievers only observe him and until they witness miracles they believe. This calls us to believe and deepen our connections when we are at mass.

Article 2 In April of 1980, not long after Terry Fox started his Marathon of Hope in St. Johns, Nfld., the Star assigned a reporter to follow him weekly in a feature called Running with Terry, becoming the first newspaper to regularly cover his progress. The reporter was Leslie Scrivener, a Star feature writer who would go on to write the definitive book on the young amputee Terry Fox: His Story. Monday is the 30th anniversary of the launch of the Marathon of Hope and we asked Scrivener to catalogue the many ways Foxs run changed the country. It was so early that June morning there was no hint of a sunrise when Terry Fox stepped on to Highway 17 in eastern Ontario. No one in the van with him had said a word. It was a time of waiting, of preparing. A long day, a marathon of running lay ahead. The moon bathed the fields in a silvery light. Alone, without the crowds who would later wait on the highway, he moved smoothly and contentedly through the dark. It was a good day, one of the rare ones. The image from that morning endures, 30 years on. Its imprinted, somewhere, part of who I am. In the three decades that have passed Canada too carries the imprint of the graceful young man with the awkward amputees gait. He became a part of us, part of our bedrock. He is in our geography, in awards that honor outstanding young Canadians, as a role model for athletes especially the unsung grinders and in cancer research funded as it had never been before. April 12 marks the start of Terrys Marathon of Hope, the day in 1980 when he dipped his artificial limb looking back it was a cobbling of leather and aluminum, like suspenders in the harbour at St. Johns, Nfld., and turned westward. He ran for 143 days until cancer caught up to him. He was 22 when he died June 28, 1981. His impact is incalculable, until you start to calculate it: 32 streets, one mountain, 1,164 cancer research grants and awards, $451,737,662 invested in cancer research. How did it happen? In small steps, some of which send shivers. Roshni Dasgupta was a little girl growing up in Regina as she followed Terrys run in the summer of 1980. I remember watching it on TV all the time. You saw a kid who was hurting and kept going. Always interested in working with kids with disabilities, at 17 she won a coveted Terry Fox Humanitarian Award that paid most of her undergraduate tuition and living costs at McGill University. One opportunity led to another. The award provided the inspiration to dream big, she says. Dasgupta went on to study medicine at the University of Toronto, where she was captain of the track and field team. She later went to Harvard, became a Rhodes Scholar and landed a fellowship at the Hospital for Sick Children. Now 36, shes a pediatric surgeon at Cincinnatis Childrens Hospital where she specializes in kids with cancer. His determination pervades your psyche, she says, thinking back on Terry. He had all these things against him. If he could do what he did with all those obstacles.On Wednesday at 7:30 a.m., she began a three-hour-long surgery. Her patient was an 18-year-old boy. He had osteogenicsarcoma, bone cancer, in his right leg. It had spread to his lungs. Terry was 18 when he learned he had bone cancer. It was in his right leg. And it had spread to his lungs. Dasgupta had come full circle. Im operating on someone just like Terry, she thought. I felt privileged that I could give back.

Reflection I believe that Terry Fox really was reflecting Jesus because he ran across the country for a very noble cause. He attracted a lot of attention. He was depicted as a Canadian hero. It calls us to not sit on our bums and try to do something useful, helpful and something proud for someone you know or may not know. This calls us to do something we dreamed as well.
