Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 6,12-16.
Jesus departed to the mountain to pray, and he spent the night in prayer to God.
When day came, he called his disciples to himself, and from them he chose Twelve, whom he also named apostles:
Simon, whom he named Peter, and his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,
Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon who was called a Zealot,
and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
He spent the night in prayer.
1) Prayer: see how important prayer is in Jesus’ life. Before deciding something, the first thing He does is talk to his Father. Today you and I have to take that example … we have to learn that life is not a constant acceleration, nor is it an “action / reaction”. It is necessary to know how to make time and learn to spend moments of the day in conversation with God.
2) Choice: We see that God specifically calls each one, not in a group. God calls in person, personally and individually. Since call is personal, decisions are taken from the personal point of view and not what others decide. Each of the apostles is different but God chooses them as different as they are. Therefore is not as choosing from a catalog. God chooses who he wants because that’s His plan, no explanation given. Let yourself be surprised by God.
3) The plain: shows the work area, it is from prayer that action starts and not vice versa. It is having achievements that come from an intimate encounter with God. You have been elected by Him. Jesus already spoke one night with his Father about you, before acting in the plain, have your intimate encounter with God.
God bless you in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. And don’t forget: heaven is our goal.
