FOURTH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME

REFLECTION “Take, O take me as I am. Summon out what I shall be. Set your seal upon my heart and live in me.” Jesus takes us, you and me, just as we are. He starts with the simple, the basic, the ordinary -- you and me, just as we are. Then, He summons out what we shall be, what we are created to be, what He calls us to be. We can choose to resist the change. I can hold on to my old self, my unchanged self, the self I have become comfortable and satisfied with, the self I have learned to live with. I can hold tight within myself to whatever it might be that the Lord wants to summon out, whatever changes the Lord wants to make in me. It is like the sculptor who was asked how she carved such beautiful statues out of huge blocks of marble. “First,” she said, “I study the block of marble, then I envision the form within it and then I chip away everything except the statue. Voila! A work of art! The Lord is the sculptor of our lives. He created the stuff of our existence, body and soul. Sometimes we can be as dense and formless as a block of marble. But, the Lord is always working at chipping away all that isn’t the person He made each of us to be. He takes me as I am, but summons out what I am called to be. The Lord takes me as I am with all my assets and liabilities, with all my talents and handicaps, with all my accomplishments and my failures, with all my strengths and weaknesses. He takes me as I am with my sins and brokenness, and, with the help of His grace and mercy, He sculpts, and calls forth the person He created each of us to be. Then He sets His seal upon our hearts just as an artist might sign his work. Ask these three questions:  First: do I trust that the Lord takes me as I am?  Second: do I believe that God is not yet finished with me, that God is still sculpting me?  Third: will I ask the Lord to summon out of me the person He wants me to become? May Christ take us to Himself, just as we are, may He summon out all that we are called to be and set the seal of His love upon our hearts. Save the Dates: Women’s Commisson Day of Reflection: Saturday, March 9 Theme: “Alive in Christ...Finding Our True Identity”. 8:00 AM—4:00 PM with Mass (www.rcan.org/womcom) Catholic Men’s Conference: Saturday, March 16 Theme: “For a time such as this, Holiness and Hope”. 8:00 Am—4:40 PM with Mass (www.rcanmenscommission.org) Registration for both events is $25 for adults.
