A Sunday Moment to Pause

By Ernesto Cardenal

God’s call, vocation, is twofold. God calls us saying, ‘Come and follow me.’ We arrive and then we must follow. We find but must go on seeking. God’s call is a never-ending call, to the unknown, to adventure, to follow him in the night, in solitude. It is a call incessantly to go further, and further. For it is not static but dynamic (as creation is also dynamic) and reaching him means going on and on. God’s call is like the call to become an explorer; it is an invitation to adventure.

A profound statement by a profound priest. You'll recall that the then Pope chastised Cardenal when visiting Nicaraugua where Cardenal heal a government post. Apparently, according the that Pope, God had a wrong number when He made the call to Cardenal!
