Today’s Gospel text is a sad portion of scripture. Jesus is coming to the end of his life. He knows the path to which he is called to walk is a path of death. He tells his disciples, ‘You are going to have the light just a little while longer,’ How sad! His soul is troubled. Jesus must leave those he loves. His mission, his call is to die for the sins of the world. Over the next few days we will reflect on Jesus’ call, his ministry of sacrificial dying. I challenge us also to consider our call, our ministry. What is God calling each of us to do or to be? Skip Seibel
