Scripture Reflection: February 25, 2024 - Second Sunday of Lent
Gn 22:1-2, 9a, 10-13, 15-18
 
God put Abraham to the test.
He called to him, "Abraham!"
"Here I am!" he replied.
"Here I am," Abraham answered to God's call. A test that he passed with flying colors. He trusted in the Lord and was willing to give his only son as a holocaust, and the Lord blessed him abundantly.
As we go about our daily lives, we may not be sure if it is God's call that we are hearing. We usually don't know what is happening when important things happen in our lives. My awareness didn't come suddenly like it did for St Paul. It was a slow process of praying and being open to the Spirit before I realized that God was with me. Sometimes, I don't understand why things happen the way they do, but I trust that God is leading me the way I should go. Handing everything over to God does not mean that I stop trying. Trusting Him is trying to do all He says. I pray that I will continue to trust and have faith as Abraham did when my turn comes to obey his command. I hear his whispering in the silence of the Chapel, and I'm keeping my heart and ears open to His calling.

Let us pray, "May the eyes of our hearts be enlightened, that we may know what is the hope that belongs to his call" (Ephesians 1:18).
