As Jesus begins his ministry, he calls to himself those he wants: two brothers from two families, perhaps the only male heirs of the Father. We are not told what happens to the Father or the inner drama they face. This drama is what plays out in every 'vocation' be it to lay or clerical lives and functions.It is pressing, often unsettling, but ultimately fulfilling; because in answering the call, one finds oneself anew in Christ.
