Before this Feast of the Assumption Mass, Glenmary Father José Carlos, Mexican American, ordained in 2021, speaks to the people about the feast and the Blessed Mother, who appeared to Saint Juan Diego as a native adorned in gold. In his homily he speaks of Mary’s Magnificat, her joy and openness: “My spirit rejoices in God, my savior . . . he has lifted up the lowly . . . he has filled the hungry with good things” (Luke 1:46-55).

The Missionary Call
Scriptures: Matthew 4:18-22
I've heard every reason you can imagine for avoiding missionary service: "I haven't been to seminary." "I can't preach." "I'm too old." "My family won't go for it." On and on the list goes. Let me tell you that there are thousands of active missionaries who once thought that God couldn't use them either. I often have the privilege of hearing their stories of how the Lord turned resistance into enthusiasm.
People can offer God plenty of reasons why He shouldn't call them to spread the gospel. But His call is not issued for our consideration; He expects a response of obedience and surrender.
A believer is accountable only to say yes to God's call. It is the Lord's responsibility to equip the chosen for the work He's assigned. A personal plan has been mapped for each believer's life, and God provides the personality and temperament that suits. Then He adds skills that can be developed and the spiritual gifts necessary to fulfill His mission.
God makes His call with wisdom and discernment. He knows why He created you and what you're capable of accomplishing in His strength (Eph. 2:10). Rejecting the invitation to serve Him is foolish. It would be like telling almighty God that He made a mistake. But surrender opens the door to a lifetime of service, blessing, and joy!
Mission work can occur near or far. You could serve: at home by writing to prisoners; down the street by dishing out meals at a shelter; across the nation by providing flood relief; or in a foreign land by translating the gospel. In short, a missionary calling is whatever God tells you to do.

I chose a male subject, diverting focus from Amy’s over-sold image. Through the eyes of a fan, I explored the lack of visual discernment between a scream of ecstasy and one of distress, aiming to capture her conflicting emotions whilst performing. This focused on the existence of isolation despite adoration.
Knowledge is power only if you know which facts to ignore.
