Call

Bishop Bowman, speaking last Saturday at Ministry Discernment Day, said there are three kinds of call. “Call” is a churchy word for the action of the Holy Spirit who beckons us to be God’s people in the world, whether as lay or ordained. I do not remember Bishop Bowman’s first two kinds of call, but I am familiar with his third: “Muddling.” We try, in prayer, study and conversation, to find how we are each called “to love and serve the Lord.” The process can be erratic and untidy. We muddle along. In time, the muddle is less until, at last, we find ourselves precisely where God would have us.

Go in peace to love and serve the Lord!
