I feed on the Word and remember that God's calling is not a distant vision, but a life given to fulfill the good news of Christ among his people. Like Paul, who rejoices in the sufferings for Christ, we are invited to recognize that Christ's authority is revealed in weakness, in what seems lacking, so that the fullness of God may manifest in the Church. The call is not only for grand gestures, but for daily fidelity: to serve with humility, teach with wisdom, and present every person perfect in Christ by the power at work within us. May we, then, open our hearts to the revelation of Christ in us, the hope of glory, so that the Body may be strengthened and the Word manifested in all its richness.
As we look to the mystery that has been revealed to the saints, we are reminded that God's call places us as servants of the divine召集. Not by human merit, but by the grace that enables us to proclaim Christ, to center God’s presence in us in the life. Through our effort, moved by the strength of His power, we are invited to work toward the maturation of each person, so that the fullness of Christ may be seen in the community. Service, then, is not only activity, but an incarnation of the gospel that transforms relationships, families, and ministries into living testimony.
Each day, the call is present in the practice of faith: prayer for the church, teaching grounded in the Word, and a life that seeks to obey Christ. We are called to remain steadfast amidst struggles, recognizing that God’s power operates effectively in us. May our motivation not be ego, but the glory of Christ in us, the hope of glory, and the desire to see the Body complete, revealing to the world the riches of Christ. May we be strengthened by the Spirit, encouraged by biblical truth, and sent with courage to serve, until each member of the Body is fully revealed in Christ.
