Second Sunday Ordinary Time: Year B (1/18)

God seeks out those whom He has created in His own divine image.

In the FIRST READING we hear God’s calling of Samuel (1 Sam 3:3-10, 19). The GOSPEL preserves Our Lord’s initial encounter with Peter, James and John who later become the foundations of the Church (John 1:35-42).

In the very same way, following Christ today means giving Him our heart, our whole being, our life. Intentional disciples seek to live every day in the light of their blessed relationship with Jesus. Imitating Him and humbly ascribing their lives to His ways, their lives display an unmistakable confidence and compassion that supports, encourages, heals and inspires.

There is nothing easy about responding to God’s promptings. It always demands our personal struggle and sincere effort which continuously are refined by God’s grace. Hear Him and persevere.
