The Lord is calling you!

[5th Sunday of Ordinary Time, Year C, 7 Feb 2016 / Isa 6:1-2a, 3-8 / Ps 138:1-2a, 2b-3, 4-5, 7-8 / 1 Cor 15:1-11 / |Luke 5:1-11]

WHAT do you think the call of God is like? Today Jesus calls Peter the fisherman to leave his nets behind and follow him. St Paul tells us of his calling too and the Lord calls Isaiah asking, “Who will go? Who will tell them?” Do you know that actually God calls EVERY ONE OF US! The most important thing you can do in this short life (and hurry because there is not much time) is to discover the call for you. How old are you now? Have you discovered it yet? St Thérèse of the Child Jesus discovered it at only 15. Sometimes we think we have all the time in the world but she died at 24. By then she had not only understood her calling but lived it to the full. So much so that when she was canonized she was called “the greatest of modern Saints.”
