South Mille Lacs Catholic Community
This weekend in the Gospel we hear the call of the first disciples who find themselves unworthy of that call to follow Jesus in their life and doing his ministry. Down through the ages – and continuing in the Church today – men and women have set aside much in their life to be a follower of Jesus in consecrating themselves through vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. Unworthy as we may sometimes feel (like in Peter’s words in the Gospel, “Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.”) nevertheless, we are drawn to Christ to use our unique God-given personality, its gifts and talents to live in community with others as we “live for God along – together”.
It is hoped that we Crosiers who serve you will share this week’s insights and experiences of living the consecrated life. It is a calling we treasure, though unworthy, as our special gift from God.
