One Bread, One Body - Reflection for June 21, 2021

A LONG-DISTANCE CALL

"Go forth...to a land that I will show you." –Genesis 12:1

Over three decades ago, God called our family to leave behind all that was familiar, move hundreds of miles, and join Presentation Ministries as volunteers. In a small way, I came to learn some of what Abram learned about following the Lord:

PRAYER: Lord, "here I am...send me!" (Is 6:8)
PROMISE: "The measure with which you measure will be used to measure you." –Mt 7:2
PRAISE: St. Aloysius Gonzaga gave up his position in the royal courts to join the Society of Jesus. He chose for himself a life of penance. He served plague victims and eventually died of the plague at the age of 23.
