Called To Follow the Lord

Today's Readings:
1 Cor 6:1-11
Ps 149:1-6, 9
Lk 6:12-19

In today's readings Paul reminds the Corinthians that true judgment can only come from God and that no matter our past, we are now called by God. In the Gospel we also see the calling of the 12 apostles and the crowds that followed Christ. Today let us remember that we too have been called by Christ to follow after him; let us not allow our past to hold us from him or fear of the future intimidate us, rather let us courageously follow the Lord. There is a saying: "all saints have a past and all sinners have a future," and St. Paul goes on to say "now you have had yourselves washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God." Let us this day build that future by living out the here and now to the best of our ability, knowing that God uses the smallest of things to create great miracles. May God Bless you all and have a great day.
