A Resurrectionist Vocation Minute for February 23, 7th Sunday in Ordinary Time
What Fears Keep You from Embracing Christ’s Call?
Jesus teaches that the way we treat others reflects the measure of our own hearts.
In today’s Gospel, He urges us to be merciful, to forgive, and to give without expecting anything in return. This standard isn’t easy, yet it lays the foundation for any true vocation: a life rooted in self-giving love.
What fears or hesitations hold you back from embracing a life of radical self-giving?
“Our personal participation in the Paschal Mystery begins with our conversion, the acceptance of the Lord Jesus as our personal Savior, and our union with Him in Baptism, Confirmation and the Holy Eucharist. However, our conversion is a dynamic, lifelong process. We will constantly die to self (self-will, self-love, self-activity) in order to rise by the power of the Holy Spirit to a new life of love in Christ.”
