RESPONDING TO GOD’S CALL
When John the Baptist sees Jesus, he says in the hearing of his disciples that Jesus is the Lamb of God. The disciples of John become interested in knowing where Jesus is staying and Jesus invites them to stay with him and find out for themselves. The disciples not only find where Jesus is staying but they also gather information about him. They are convinced that Jesus is the Messiah and immediately want to introduce him to others. And so, Andrew brings his brother Simon to Jesus. Jesus establishes a deep relationship with Simon which has continued ever after. In the First Reading we see Samuel also receiving a call. Samuel is sleeping in the Temple near the Ark of God. Initially Samuel is not able to understand that God is calling him, but later with the help the elderly man Eli, Samuel responds saying, ‘Speak Lord, your servant is listening.’ In the Second Reading Paul reminds the Corinthians that Christians must preserve their bodies as the temples of the Holy Spirit because God will raise our bodies after we die. Hence, we have to keep our bodies chaste avoiding every sexual immorality. Let us ask for this grace as we celebrate the Eucharist.
