Great Catholic Homilies

"Faith comes by hearing, and what is heard is the Word of Christ."

As with Abraham, God’s call comes with his gift and grace

First Reading: Gen. 12:1-9 The call of Abraham

Summary: It’s difficult for a young person to embark on a new journey. Much more so for Abraham, who was 75 when he heard the call from God to move to a new place.

Faith must always manifest itself in action. God doesn’t just say to Abraham to take a risk. He makes a particular promise. God doesn’t ask us to do anything without his gift and grace to carry it out.

For us, we must ask, “What do You want me to do today?” In today’s Gospel, we are told to stop judging others.
