Radical transformation

By requesting Abraham to leave his country, his family and father's house, God is calling us to a radical change. Our journey of faith beckons us to step beyond our comfort zones, our human securities and to even to leave behind us the familiar so that we can embrace the unknown, the true promised land. Thanks to Abraham's obedience of faith.
To achieve this goal, Jesus invites us to examine our own hearts before seeking to change others, that is personal conversion, self-transformation. We must allow God's transformative power (his grace) at work within us to remove the barriers hindering our positive relationship with God and with one another.

Prayer: Lord, increase our faith, hope and charity so that our personal conversion may help us become agent of change in our world today.

Sacred heart of Jesus, may your kingdom come!
