Homily notes of this morning's Mass [View all]
The homily this morning was about being called, accepting the call and acting on it.
The 1st reading was the call of Samuel and how the young boy began by listening and not permitting any word of the Lord to be wasted.
In the Gospel John told 2 disciples that Jesus was the Lamb of God. Andrew and the other went to Jesus and spent the day with him. Andrew found his brother Simon and brought him to Jesus.
So first answer the call, next learn, and then bring others.
Everyone present is called by Christ and need to listen, learn and make other disciples.
Francis of Assisi's advice to brother Leo was mentioned that we, should "preach the gospel always when necessary use words." And that Francis receive his call to, “Go repair my Church, which as you see is falling completely in ruin”
Even though the church has been in troubled waters regularly the Holy Spirit guides the right people to steer the ship to safer waters.
