January 4 - Memorial of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton

Come and You Will See

I love seeing the odd ways that incredible things come to be. If it wasn't for the question, "Where are you staying?" we may not have had Peter as our first Pope. Through the curiosity of his brother, Andrew, Simon (soon to be renamed Peter), came to hear of Jesus. Then with his own curiosity he went to see this Messiah. The rest, as they say, is history.

God uses our natural curiosity, our preferences, our comfort zones to reach us. He uses these comfortable and familiar things to pull us out of those comfortable ruts into the new encounters, new requests, new adventures.

The danger is that as we sit in our comfortable places, it is easy to ignore the Andrews in our lives, calling us to encounter. Even when we stir from those places, it takes still more to encounter Christ and change our lives.


  • Where are you a bit too comfortable?
  • Who is someone inviting you to encounter Christ? How can you invite others to that encounter?
