21 January 2018 ( 3RD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME ) At the heart of every vocation is answering the call from God.
The call today is not that much different from the call that
Jonah, or Simon, or Andrew heard. It is a call to “come follow
me.” As with any commitment, we usually think we know what
it will entail, but time often proves us wrong.
The call is made manifest a day at a time; sometimes we
impose our wills on God that God would give us a map of clear
guidelines and a definite budget along with our “Yes” to Him not
wanting to be led to the fullness of life in accordance to His will.
Sometimes it’s not about the task but the process of our own
transformation.
Jesus announces in today’s Gospel that the Kingdom of God is
near. God would most certainly bring His plan for us to fruition. Whatever our vocation
may be, with humble trust and faith in God he will change everything. |
