The one absolute: God's Will
Heb 10:1-10; Mk 3: 31-35
Yesterday I was talking to a group of children about 'Vocation' and I was trying to drive home to them the fact that every one of us is called, each of us has a vocation; that we are all here on a purpose and God wants us to achieve that purpose. One smart boy raised a question: but how will we know what God wants us to do?
Truly speaking, can we ever know for sure, what God wants of us?
If we can stay tuned to God's voice and God's promptings, we would at any given moment make choices and decisions in keeping with God's will for us then and there. What is needed for this is a disposition that the readings today give us: Behold, I come to do your will. It is this readiness to do God's will that makes Mary the first disciple of Christ, more than merely the biological mother that she was to Jesus! The fundamental disposition is to never lose sight of that one absolute, in relation to which all our choices and decisions have to be made: God's Will, and a total surrender to it.
