2^nd Sunday in Ordinary Time 14^th Jan: Focus: The Lord continually calls us – do we have ears to hear? – Samuel does not recognize God’s voice, but he is alert & obedient, listening & ready for action. We hear that he ran when called, & another time he rose. Eli gives Samuel the correct response: Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. We live in a world of noise & distraction. Are we ready to answer? Can we even hear?
