FRIDAY 22 JANUARY 2021
Mark 3, 13-19:
“Jesus went and called those whom he wanted, and they went with him… And he made them his companions, to send them out to preach with the power to cast out demons”.
Jesus’ call is not only in word and in voice. It is also a call that is preceded by love. A call that comes from his heart.
Therefore, it is not an impersonal call but a very personal one.
He calls each and every one of us by name. Because he loves each and every one.
The first thing Jesus wants with his call is that those called be with him, that they be his companions, that they live his same life and his same aspirations.
And then, that they participate in his same mission, which is to announce the Gospel and to fight against everything that oppresses the human person.
+ Have you ever stopped to think that you too are on Jesus’ list?
+ Have you ever thought that you too are in his heart and that he wants to make you his companion so that you may be with him?
+ Have you ever thought that he wants to send you too to preach, with the power to cast out “demons”?
Spend some time today discovering and savouring this call. And enjoy this moment very much, feeling that you are Jesus’ companion.
Good day.
