This is a reflection on the calling to be a missionary. This reflection is meant for those discerning for Full Time Pastoral Work.
God’s call for you is very unique. It is how the Lord calls. It is very personal to you. Ordinary to others, extraordinary to you. The more you reflect on it, the more you realize how the Lord has moved the universe in all its precision and accuracy to capture your attention.
That is how much the Lord knows you. He will pluck the right chords to capture your attention.
Your calling is like passing through the narrow gate (Matthew 7:13-14), it is narrow because the opening that leads to life is meant for you. Distractions abound and the gate to other things is wide open, but it is only when you pass the narrow gate will the call will bring you to life.
How is God calling you? How is God using the things that you find awesome and life changing, but ordinary to others?
Lord, may I be sensitive to Your call for me. Like Mama Mary, let me answer You with my full yes. Amen.
