Genesis 12:1-9 / Matthew 7:1-5
As we gather in this Eucharist as a faith community, we have also come from various aspects of the faith generation.
Some of us may be third generation Catholics, some are seventh generation Catholics and some even more.
But whatever generation we might be, we know we have inherited the faith from our ancestors of the first generation and we have to thank them.
Indeed that first generation have to make that critical leap of faith into the virtual unknown from their previous religious traditions.
Well we heard in the 1st reading that Abram was 75 years old when God called him.
At that age, one would not be thinking of taking risks and venture into the unknown.
But Abram responded to God's call and trusted in God's promises.
As for us, we too have to respond to God's constant promptings to seek His will in our lives.
With God, there is no finish line.
