1 Sam 3, 1-10.19-20; Mk 1:29-39
Jesus in the gospel encourages us to give time to prayer without getting caught in the trap of activism.
Samuel's call and his “yes” to the Lord. His “yes” meant that he had become an important prophet and military leader for the people. He inspires us to open ourselves to God's call. Speak Lord, your servant listens.
Jesus himself teaches us to say yes to the Lord. He is the
God himself who is present and who acts among us. He preaches the Good News, he heals all infirmities, he delivers from the spirit of evil. The preaching of the Good News to every creature and deliverance from the forces of darkness are at the heart of the ministry of Jesus Christ!
You too are the successor of Jesus and Samuel. Go and proclaim the release of the captives.
