The Roman Catholic Lectionary today offers reminders that the status quo is not the goal and the next step in the journey may seem highly unlikely as we approach it but on reflection may be recognized as a response to an invitation to growth. Paul explains to the Galatians the highly unlikely situation that brought him to be the “Apostle to the Gentiles” from the position of great persecutor of the Way. The psalmist reflects that the very mystery of our being and the marvellous construction of our body is testimony to a plan and a direction beyond our human ability to comprehend which nevertheless is as intimate to us as our heart beat. How do you behave when the opportunity for intimacy with the Divine is sensed? The traditional tasks may be best set aside. The transcendent God offers the opportunity to sit “at His feet”. Our response is neither predictable nor ordinary!
