A Scripture and a Prayer: “The Immediacy of the Call”

“‘Come, follow me,’ Jesus said, ‘and I will send you out to fish for people.’ At once they left their nets and followed him.” (Mark 1:17-18a)

Prayer:

Lord, while You tell us to wait for You as we seek to do Your will and follow Your ways, You also said not only to follow, but to fulfill Your calling to evangelize now and not later. You say that today is the day of salvation, and You also tell us not to say that we still have time until the harvest, but rather that the fields are ripe for harvesting now. Lord, help us trust by faith and follow and to fulfill Your command to go and make disciples of all nations Veritas12

by beginning to tell them the good news and to repent for the Kingdom of Heaven has come, and that You are coming again, soon. AMEN
