Summary

Homily from the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time.

God has a claim on your life...and God has a call for your life.

We can often be hesitant to make decisions in life. Not only because we do not want to make the wrong decision, but also because we want to make the best decision. But the point of life is not merely to optimize our happiness. We experience a new freedom and meaning when we realize that our lives are not our own...and we live to respond to God's call.
