The readings speak of being called to spread the message of God. The persons in the bible readings either have first hand encounters with God or Jesus. Many at the time would have had similar encounters yet they did not follow through as they were not led to do so by the Holy Spirit.
Our Faith can be as strong even though we are living in different times from the Bible narratives as the Bible events continue with us. The readings also teach us that once chosen we do not need to be concerned if we are worthy or capable to spread the message of God since it is again through the Holy Spirit that we are shown the way to do God’s will.
