Often have we heard the saying, 'God chooses not the worthy; but makes worthy the chosen'. It's true not only regarding particular individuals. To be believers in God, to be baptised into God's household, to be called 'Christians', is no achievement of ours. It is because the one who created us, has called us! 'It is not you who chose me, but I chose you' declared Jesus. When this truth really dawns on us, apart from an overwhelming gratitude, we would be filled with a docility without measure. That is what we see in the readings today. A candid realisation of being chosen inspite of our unworthiness; and a clear instruction from the Lord as to how to manifest our docility. The command, given in all detail, can be simply stated in one phrase - Be filled with God alone and fill the world with God!
