Seizing The Day

As we begin Ordinary Time, we find Jesus plunging into his ministry with speed and force. (Mk 1: 14-20).  His message is clear:  "Repent and believe the good news" and he wastes not time recruiting James and John, Peter and Andrew.  As Jesus accepted his mission, so did these men with their direct YES.  Mark writes with a sense of urgency; his gospel is the shortest, and he wastes no words.  There's work to be done and we must seize the day:  no time for committee meetings, no "sleep on its" night after night.  NOW.  JUST DO IT.  Once the YES has been given, ACTION should follow.  God's grace will make it possible for us as it did  for Jesus and his disciples, in case if we have any hesitation.  Seize the day!
