โNapakaraming aanihin, ngunit kakaunti ang mag-aani. Idalangin ninyo sa may-ari ng aanihin na magpadala ng mga mag-aani.โ
(Mateo 9: 37-38)
Sama-sama tayong manalangin para sa Bokasyon. Maging inspirasyon natin ang sinabi ni Papa Leo XIV:
"In the Gospel of John, Jesus describes himself as the โgood shepherdโ (แฝ ฯฮฟฮนฮผแฝดฮฝ แฝ ฮบฮฑฮปฯฯ) ( Jn 10:11). This expression refers to a shepherd who is perfect, authentic and exemplary, inasmuch as he is ready to give his life for his sheep, thus revealing Godโs love. He is the Shepherd who draws us to himself, whose gaze reveals that life is truly beautiful when one follows him. Neither the eyes of the body nor aesthetic sensibilities alone are sufficient to recognize this beauty; rather, contemplation and interiority are required. Only the one who pauses, listens, prays and welcomes the Shepherdโs gaze can say with confidence: โI trust him; life with him can truly be beautiful. I want to walk this path of beauty.โ What is most extraordinary is that, in becoming his disciple, one truly becomes โbeautifulโ; his beauty transforms us. As the theologian Pavel Florenskij wrote, asceticism does not produce a merely โgoodโ person, but a โbeautifulโ one. [1] Indeed, more than goodness, the distinctive trait of the saint is the luminous spiritual beauty that radiates from his or her life in Christ. In this way, the Christian vocation reveals itself in all its depth as a participation in the life of Jesus, by sharing in his mission and reflecting his beauty."
