We have the famous call of Moses. How does the theme of call resonate
with the Season of Lent?
Lent is a time of invitation of Jesus for our transformation and
conversion. In particular, we may have similar experiences of Moses
when we feel we are being asked to do something which is beyond our
powers and capabilities. We simply feel our limitations and
insufficiency to be able to perform the task entrusted to us. How can
my boss or God for that matter give me this responsibility and mission
when I am so lacking in talents?
The answer of God is simply: “I AM sent me to you.”
There was this man who was thinking of teaching in China as part of his
formation. He was not surely the best in his group but he felt that
this was some sort of adventure but more so, he felt that God was
calling him to spend some time in China. By his work and dedication to
his work, he hoped to touch them and thus serve as his way of
evangelization to those who still remain ignorant of Jesus. The
insecurities were there considering that he did not speak Chinese. In
the end, his only response why he decided to go on was the consolation
that indeed it is God (I am) who missioned him there. The seeds of
Christianity will continue to be planted there and hopefully, there
shall be harvest in the future.
This season of Lent is an invitation of our unwavering trust in God who
will bring into fruition whatever mission God entrusts to us.
