At What Length?
In the reading from the Book of Samuel, Hannah gives her child to Eli for life long service to God. She took her dedication to the Lord to the point of giving her child to him. I wonder if this is how mothers of priests feel.
The Gospel is the Canticle of Mary. Mary agrees to be the Mother of Jesus, giving her life totally to the Lord. Her life was not to be anything like she probably imagined.
At what lengths are we willing to go to dedicate our lives to the Lord? Each day, we are faced with decisions that can lead us toward God or lead us away from him. How will we answer?
