WEEKLY REFLECTION
God Qualifies Those He Calls
08-23-2026 | Fr. Emmanuel Ogla, VCDear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
God does not wait for perfect people before calling them; He qualifies those He calls by giving them the grace needed for their mission. God removes Shebna and chooses Eliakim, placing the key of David upon his shoulder, showing that authority and mission ultimately come from God, not merely from human ability. Jesus entrusts Peter with the keys of His kingdom despite his weaknesses. St. Paul reminds us that our task is not to feel qualified, but to trust the One who calls us.
