Accepting the Word (Pope Paul VI)


   Here lies the test of truth, the touchstone of evangelization:  it is unthinkable that a person should accept the Word and give himself to the kingdom without becoming a person who bears witness to it and proclaims it in his turn. 
--Pope Paul VI 

What is a touchstone? 
A touchstone was originally a black stone (like flint)
used to test the purity of gold and silver
by the streak left on the stone when rubbed by the metal. 
How does your witness to the kingdom 
hold up to the test?
