Time to Move Out Of Nineveh!

"Forty days more and Nineveh shall be destroyed," when the people of Nineveh believed God; they proclaimed a fast and all of them, great and small, put on sackcloth.

Well, the Church seems to be getting into rerun season.  We had the story of Nineveh not too long ago.  Jonah, you know the guy who spent some quality time inside a whale, was not thrilled with the assignment to go and save Nineveh. God took the time and trouble to show him the error of his ways. And Jonah reluctantly preached the message of repentance that God wanted him to preach.  The citizens of that great city, remember, it took three days to walk through the place, took both Jonah and God at their word and proclaimed a fast and spent their time repenting of the evil that was causing the displeasure of God.

We all are marked in this life for a mission.  It is a mission that only we can do, no other out of the billions of people who have ever lived have had this mission, because it was designed by God to further His kingdom in ways that only our unique talents could do.  This mission may appear to be something simple, but we know not the effects of our work.  Imagine a rock thrown into a lake.  In the scheme of things not so consequential.  But from the center of where that rock hit, every molecule of water is affected and affects the one next to it and so on. So, our mission may not be a huge undertaking like that of Mother Angelica who built a Catholic Broadcasting empire, As a matter of fact, it might be something so small as giving a cup of water to a stranger who, touched by your generosity goes on to do great things. We never know what our smallest of actions can mean in this world of ours but we have to trust that God does. 

Please remember to pray for the poor souls in Purgatory.
