"The Mission of Many"

Has there ever come a time in your life where you ask yourself, "Why am I here?" You feel like you hardly know the purpose of your life, and why you were sent here in the first place. We see so much people who feel the same, yet they are contented with their lives. This is because they live the mission of God. Every single one of us was hand-picked by God in order to live. Not everyone has a chance at life, so we have to live life as Jesus lived his.

On July 2015, I was given the opportunity to join Youth For Christ. Not a lot of people are given this opportunity, so we must be thankful for whatever we receive. I interpreted this as a calling. God was reaching out to me, trying to tell me something. He saw a lost soul that needed guidance, and he was willing to lead the way. Before I joined YFC, I remember being the person who was always late to mass, the person who kept talking and playing. He wanted me to become better, and for me to put my faith in him. I experienced so much good things on the weekend of my camp. I learned how to be more faithful and to walk on earth as a servant of God. We must all aspire to be like Him, living as guides and servants of God. We must continue to carry on His mission, for others to be reunited with him.

This gospel basically talks about being given a mission and fulfilling it. Like Mother Mary, she did not hesitate at all. She was willing to stand by His side no matter what happens. An act of true faith helped her to fulfill her mission. We must see this in our daily lives. We have to be like Mary, entrusting all our faith so that we may also accomplish our missions here on earth.
