The Day of Beckoning

risen_jesusWe speak of a “day of reckoning” when our deserved rewards and punishments will be meted out, sometimes in the context of death. The reward will be due in part to our response on “the day of beckoning,” when we were asked to follow Christ. The day of beckoning began at the first instance of our existence, became stronger at baptism, and has continued through every daily response to the call “Follow Me.” Every day is a “day of beckoning.”

How will you use this day of beckoning so that the day of reckoning will be one of joy?
