th
Sunday in Ordinary Time
“As the Lord spoke to me, the spirit entered me and
set me on my feet, and I heard the one who was
speaking say to me, ‘Son of man, I am sending
you…’” (EZEKIEL 2:2-3) God asks each of us to do
some special work for Him. He gives us the
resources we need to do His work. However, do we
listen to God when He calls? Do we get up on our
feet and use our talent to do the work He asks of us?
Remember, God doesn’t call the equipped, he
equips the called.
