LOOKING FORWARD TO MASS

This coming Sunday will mark the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time.  During Mass, we will hear the tale of Samuel's vocation (call) from God.  And, we will hear Jesus' command to two of John's disciples in response to their question: "Come and you will see."

The message is clear.  God is calling each and every one of His people to listen to Him; to live life with Him.  However, our ears must be attuned to God's voice (just like Samuel), and we must be willing to go along with Christ when He says, "Come."  Let us make that our prayer this week: that we will try to hear God's voice calling us; and when we do hear His voice, we will go where He commands.

God bless!
