Noted French spiritual writer, Fr. Jacques Philippe notes that "The fullness of human flourishing is not possible by the use only of our own physical, intellectual, psychic, and emotional resources. We can only full realize our humanity be responding to God's calls--subtle and mysterious, to be sure, yet also real and constant all during our lives." Where would we be without the challenges of every day life, without today's challenges? which may not have even appeared yet at this early hour. How we respond to them is what makes us grow little by little into the person we are destined to be. May we not run away from these "calls" but embrace them as did the Twelve when they were given their first "assignment: to drive out unclean spirits and cure every disease and illness." (cf. Mt; 10: 1). It must have been disconcerting to accept this charge, yet, trusting in Jesus, they carried it out and returned rejoicing with this new sense of their wholeness and fullness May we do the same.
