A Calling

One of the things that Jesus did time and time again is that he called people. It started with the four fishermen. It carried on with the rest of the disciples. But that was not the end. The challenge was frequently repeated. Come with me! Follow me! This is integral to Jesus' ministry and message. He calls us to join in his healing work, healing the wounds of society at every level. He calls us to work with him for a society of love and equality. We should be passing on this call of Jesus to those around us. The invitation we constantly should be offering is: come and join us! Someone has said that we should be like magnets. If we want to attract people, as a magnet attracts iron filings, we will have to live attractive lives because, if we don't, people will be repelled, rather than attracted.
