Homily for Tuesday of the 1st Week of Lent

In our reading from the Prophet Isaiah, we hear that God’s Word, going forth from His mouth, does not return to Him void, but achieving the end for which He sent it.

Each one of us has been given life by God and each one of us has a calling to spread God’s love and mercy to those around us. By our cooperating with the will and call of God, we do His work on earth and return to him with the fruit of our labors.

May this Lent help us to see how it is that we must be ambassadors of God’s love on earth and, thus, return to the LORD all that He has given to us.+
