"You are my inheritance, O Lord." - Responsorial Psalm
When a parent leaves an inheritance to a child, it is meant to benefit the child, to make his life better. The inheritance we receive from GOD our Father is far more precious than a share of real property or shares of stocks. It is a share of His own divine life - a participation in the life and mission of Jesus. This share is not forced on us, we are invited.
The prophet Elijah is sent by GOD to call Elisha to take over His ministry. Without hesitation, Elisha accepts his new vocation. He leaves the security of his farm and oxen and followed Elijah into a new life of service.
When was the last time GOD sent a friend to invite you to do something for Him? What was your responsorial psalm? The smooth functioning of GOD's kingdom and its delivery of inheritances need our cooperation and punctuality.
