Our Gospel passage today tells us that Jesus spent the night in prayer before choosing his apostles. Why God chooses some for particular ministries in the Church is a mystery. Some have some severe flaws, yet they go on to be great ambassadors of the love and mercy of God.
Despite our flaws, each of us is called to serve God. Each of us has a unique calling; not all of us are called to be great and strong leaders, but we are called to be God's hand, feet, and voice from our place in this world.
To do this, we need to remain close to God; we need to be healed of our spiritual afflictions and forgiven of our sins. Only when we are close to God can we truly experience his healing and be effective instruments of his love, mercy, and compassion.+
