God Works Wonders Even When Our Lives Are Messy

Fr Eugene reveals a conversation he had with his mother about his vocation, and how she wanted him to deal with the conflict and tensions he would face in the Redemptorist community. In his homily for the Vocation Sunday weekend, he started with how prophets, saints, Pope Francis to Mother Teresa all go through a stage of struggle like us when we try find the identity within ourselves. It's often a struggle when we try to walk by ourselves, but it can be different. Because if God works with us, we can be a different person. We can answer the call to our vocation. Doing that can bring us a life of transformation and fulfilment. Even when we think our lives are messy, God can still work wonders in his mysterious ways. The invitation is out there. -Novena Devotion by Fr. Eugene Lee, C.Ss.R. (20 April 2024)
