There are many nuggets of wisdom in today’s readings. Reflect on them. I wish to focus on Jesus’ response to the two disciples who asked Him where He lived. John the Baptist told them: “Look, there is the lamb of God.” On hearing this, they immediately followed Jesus. And when they asked Him where He lived, He responded: “Come and see”. They followed Him immediately.
Jesus is forever calling us. The challenge is to hear His voice in the cacophony of noise/ distractions around us. With Carnival in the air, let us not forget to LISTEN to His voice. Remember, as our Second Reading today states: “Your body…is the temple of the Holy Spirit…you should use your body for the glory of God” (1 Cor 6:19–20).
