Vocation Reflection

What can I do?

Respect that question.

Trust that you,

can do for God,

what otherwise would not be done.

Trust that some people will hear the gospel of Jesus,

that some who are in need

will find the touch of human love,

that others will find a listening ear

or a voice in their poverty,

only because you have chosen

to give God a central place in your life . . .

It is not just your work,

your choice,

your decision.

You choose because you are chosen,

you choose because

in the heart of your desire to love,

you have found the heart of God searching for you.

(Come, Follow Me, Bishops Pastoral 1989)
