Being Known
This week, Fr. James introduces himself by sharing his “vocation story”—the story of how he came to hear God’s call for him. He recounts how a life he sought to create for himself did not end as well as he had hoped, and how his last recourse was to follow an odd stirring of his heart. “Who made you? Who knows you?” Despite knowing that God is our creator—the very one who “knit us together in our mother’s womb”—we can often find ourselves keeping God at arm’s length. (Ps 139:13) We struggle to trust this God whom we may not know personally. Yet God persistently calls us, just as He called Fr. James: “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.”
