The first reading this week is a simple and moving story about discipleship from the
First Book of Samuel. It describes how a vocation unfolds: God always takes the initiative. The call, as with young Samuel, is felt as a kind of mysterious urging coming from the depths of the heart. Samuel can hear the call because of his welcoming disposition: "Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening." He is intent on communicating with God, knowing, through faith, that God wants to communicate with us. Much in the manner of a young mother straining to hear the first "words" of her infant child, we need to hone our listening skills to better hear God's voice in all our daily encounters. Fr. Frank X. Reitzel CR.
