Isaiah's declaration is filled with enthusiasm. In 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 St. Paul declares his unworthiness to be considered an apostle and credits his success to God's grace. In Luke 5:1-11, Peter, James and John are asked to leave all behind and follow Jesus. In all cases the followers knew they were unworthy AND YET the Lord asked them AND they answered the call. To serve God, all that is needed is availability and willingness to follow wherever the Spirit leads us. No one will ever be worthy. But with the grace of God ALL can be accomplished. This week let us answer God willingly and unreservedly when He asks and see how God's plan unfolds before us.
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. -John 6:56
What a great holy promise. God remains with all who partake of the precious Body & Blood of Our Lord. Our hearts should almost burst in anticipation of our reception of Holy Communion and the promise He speaks of. Let us never let a day pass that we don't thank God for this wondrous sacrament!
