We just finished a talk by Father Don Senior, C.P. to the COC group gathered in Chicago these days. His talk was on the biblical foundation of CALL. Of course, it was excellent. He spoke about the whole meaning of being called and of the inadequacies some people usually feel when they think God is asking them to do something with their lives. He spoke of those in the Gospel, (like the Rich young Man), who turned down the call and how the Gospel never tells us what happened to him later on. Did he realize his mistake and come back? Did he realize 10 years later?
Those gathered for COC in Chicago are serious young adults who are not afraid to ask the questions to begin their vocation discernment journey. It is refreshing to see this in a world that proclaims that it is okay not to be committed to anyone or to anything. To say "Forever" to a spouse, to a Bishop as newly ordained priest, or to God, thorough the profession of vows in a religious community, it is good to know that there are young people out there who are bringing their faith into their decision making.
Thank you for keeping these young adults in your prayers!
