The Willingness to Offer Ourselves in Everyday Faithfulness that is Valued Greatly by God

The Willingness to Offer Ourselves in Everyday Faithfulness . . .

In the first reading (not included within this audio) of St. Paul we hear the name the name Tertius.

St. Paul used secretaries to write his letters as he dictated them. At times, St. Peter and St. John also used secretaries. The Homily briefly dives into this further.

Why a secretary? St. Paul did not have a great penmanship. The Lord was please to give a gift of something that is small that has a great value. Something as simple as Tertius’ penmanship was greater to the world than a dozen miracles. His skill enables St. Paul to leave behind legacy of great teachings.

. . . that is Valued Greatly by God

God values small things in everyday life. We often relate greatness to big events and actions. God values everyday small things just as much. Note what that says for every day and ordinary faithfulness! It is the willingness to offer ourselves in our everyday lives that has a great value.

It is not the pausing and waiting to do something big. Because, as we know, that moment often doesn’t come. Hear more what God values in our everyday spiritual lives.
