Tuesday of Week 24 – 1 Cor 12:12-14,27-31; Ps 100:1-3,5-6; Luke 7:11-17

Mother

What would the Church be without mothers who care for their children every day and raise them in faith?

I’m again reading Paul today, who writes to the Corinthians: “In the Church, God has given the first place to apostles, the second to prophets, the third to teachers; after them, miracles, and after them the gift of healing; helpers, good leaders, those with many languages”.

A multiplicity of charisms. I think that’s how they say it. The Church needs different ministries, different activities. So that the whole mechanism, the whole body, functions well. It seems obvious. It seems so. Because listening today to the demands coming from different environments, one may get the impression that we have stopped seeing how beautiful this wealth of multiplicity of vocations is. And instead of looking for one’s place, one’s charism, one’s vocation in the Church, one tries to point fingers that those others. . .

To do well what God has called me to do. This is my place in the Church. And that it is not necessarily connected with honours? It does not matter.
