Vocations Week is a contemplative time when we are reminded that we are all called. We are all called. Even before the phone was invented God has a place in our hearts where he wants us to share His love. We may share that love in the commitment of Sacramental Marriage and raising children as a result of self-giving love. We may share that love as single person serving the good of the human family as the “Greatest Uncle Ever.” And for some, God is calling them to a life as a consecrated sister or brother, who surrender themselves to building up the Kingdom by their prayer and their work.
Wait, I missed one. Jesus sent some men out into the world. When you are at St. Aidan for Mass, look up and see how the architecture of the sanctuary has 12 beams spreading in different directions outside this space as a reminder of those twelve men, sent out to spread the good news. We still exercise that entrusted mission of the apostles to men ordained through the sacrament of holy orders. Our priests have a ministry of bringing Jesus to people, and the people to Jesus. Just like those beams bring us inside a sacred space, one we receive Christ in the Eucharist, we are sent out by the priest to continue the mission.
Spend some time this week thinking about what God is calling you to? Has it changed since the last time you listened? Is the line still disconnected?
