2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time: How Does God Call Us?

In today's Gospel we hear one of the accounts of the call of the disciples. We can learn so much about how God calls each one of us by taking a closer look at how he called his disciples. First, it begins with someone pointing us towards Jesus. Then, after I've opened my heart to him in some way, He makes a personal invitation for me to come closer to him. Third, I must respond to his invitation to go deeper by "remaining" with Him. Finally, having been touched myself by Christ, I must point someone else towards Him -- and the cycle begins again for another person!
