Pope Francis: Mission Versus Task Work


During his Friday homily, Pope Francis focused on our callings.  “When the Lord wants to give us a mission, when He wants to give us a task, He prepares us. He prepares us to do it well, just like he prepared Elijah. And the most important part of this is not that he has encountered the Lord: no, no, that's a given."

Francis elaborated on his theme: 

        What is important is the whole journey by which we arrive to the mission entrusted             to us by the Lord. And this is the difference between the apostolic mission given to us 
        by God and a regular task. When the Lord gives a mission, He always has us enter 
        into a process, a process of purification, a process of discernment, a process of 
        obedience, a process of prayer.”  

Is your life right now focused on tasks or a Mission from God?  God Prepares Us for Mission
A song by Dan Schutte . . . comes to mind as we read the Pope’s message --  "Here I Am, Lord"
