(The call of Abram and the ancestral sagas) Now the Lord said to Abram, Go forth from your country, and from your relatives and from your father’s house to the land which I will show you. . .

God calls each of us as he called the people of Israel. We, too, are to be persons “set apart” – set apart by how we live, by what we say and what we do not say, by small choices we make each day at home, at work and at play. Indeed, we are the people of Israel and we will be known by how we set ourselves apart.

DEAR LORD, STRENGTHEN ME TO RESPOND TO YOUR CALL AND TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES TO SET MYSELF APART. I ASK THIS IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, MY LORD AND SAVIOR. AMEN.
