3rd Sunday of Ordinary Time: Saints Make a Generous Gift of Themselves

In this Sunday's Gospel we hear the account of the call of the first apostles from the Gospel writer Mark. We see Jesus call the apostles, and we see their generous response. The apostles themselves will be interiorly changed by the Lord such that they themselves will now attract others to Jesus through their own living the Gospel. This cycle is repeated down through the centuries through the saints and all Christians who seek to make a generous response to Christ's call: He calls, we respond, and He changes us so that our lives become an invitation for others.
