A Quote for the Day

Despite our differences, even if irreconcilable, our clashing self-interests and hatred of each other as people, we are distant siblings of the same parents. Even though many no longer remember that they are our brothers and sisters and we are theirs, being so will never cease to be. The most important mission a sibling can take on in his or her life is to look for those brothers and sisters lost in time, and bring them back home.  

Before God calls any person to do a special mission for God, or even a lifetime vocation, He ensures that the condition in the person's heart is ready for the "Yes," or at least for the "partial Yes" that responds to His invitation, "Come and see." If the verbal cue on the call comes, either from a cleric, a religious, a parent, a friend, or anyone else, the person automatically knows that the time has come for a "Yes." If the person being told that he is called to this and that cannot confirm that call internally, he needs to be very careful because the Lord may not have called him in that direction pointed out.
