Thursday of the Second Week in Ordinary Time. Samuel tells God, "Lord, I have come to do your will." Father Dave reflects on what Samuel's spirit of service means for us, especially when we take actions of direct service like volunteering at a local soup kitchen. Father Dave considers what it means to be open and accepting of doing the Lord's will, even when it isn't easy. Preached at St. Paul the Apostle Church, New York City on 01-19-17.
