And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others. — 2 Timothy 2:2 (NIV)

Reflection: On this day, we remember Saint Aidan, a monk and missionary who played a crucial role in the spread of Christianity in Northumbria during the 7th century. Aidan’s life was marked by humility, faithfulness, and a deep commitment to teaching others about Christ. His legacy reminds us of the importance of discipleship—passing on the faith to others so that they too can grow and share the Gospel.

Saint Aidan’s gentle yet firm approach in his ministry shows us the power of combining truth with love. He was not only a teacher but also a model of Christian living, inspiring others by his example.

Application: Consider how you can be a disciple-maker in your own context. Who in your life can you encourage and guide in their faith journey? Take a step today to invest in someone else’s spiritual growth.

Prayer: Lord, thank You for the example of Saint Aidan and his faithful ministry. Help me to be a disciple-maker, sharing Your truth with others and helping them grow in their faith. May my life be a testimony to Your love and grace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Challenge: Reach out to someone who might need guidance or encouragement in their faith. Offer to pray with them, study Scripture together, or simply share what God has been teaching you.
