READING:

I may think I have chosen Jesus, but in fact he has chosen me. Like the apostles, I am chosen to be part of his mission. Imagine the apostles, having been chosen, looking at each other, and James and John turning to Andrew and asking, "Who's this Thaddeus guy?" They could well have been uneasy at rubbing shoulders with a reformed tax collector like Matthew, and a fanatical nationalist like Simon.

The Lord's choice of followers may surprise me, and at times I may have difficulties with them, but they are chosen, with their faults, just as I am.

Some thoughts on today's scripture. As I read this list of names I consider how my name, too, is called by Jesus. He knows who I am, loves me and believes that I am ready to work by his side.

I pray for my friends and acquaintances. We are, each of us, called by God. I pray that I may cherish each of them as God does.
