What Are You Looking For? Homily from 1-14-24

"What are you looking for?" Jesus asked.  Andrew and Simon didn't say much, but they followed him.  Likewise, Samuel didn't know exactly what he wanted - better yet, what God wanted for him.  But nonetheless when he heard God calling him again in the night, he arose and answered, "Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening."  As we go throughout our normal day here in Ordinary Time, are we listening for God's voice in our lives?  When we sit back and look at our lives as a whole, what is the thing we're looking for?  Hopefully it's Jesus!  And hopefully we have the courage to answer like Samuel did!
