Friday of the Second Week of Lent (March 13, 2009)
Jesus was rejected by his own people and then He went on to become the cornerstone of all humanity.
Do you ever feel like you are not good enough or important enough to do something for the Kingdom of God? Are you afraid that if you try you may be rejected? Maybe you volunteered and nobody has called you. Jesus doesn’t want us to sit by the phone waiting for it to ring. He wants us to pick it up and call our parish, call the person leading the next Emmaus retreat or call a nursing home and ask if they could use our help. If they say no, don’t give up, call somebody else.
There is a lot to be done and Jesus needs all our help. We are His body here on earth and He needs every part: the hands, the legs, the mouth, the ears, the eyes…
Are you ready to become a cornerstone? We do not need to be smart or rich or very talented to help Jesus improve His kingdom. We just need to be humble and to have the desire to work in whatever area He needs us.
Pray to Jesus and ask Him to lead you where He needs your help. This journey will take you there. Are you ready to accept the challenge?
