“For many are invited, but few are chosen.” (Matthew 22:14) God initiates the “invitation”, but whether or not we are “chosen” depends on whether we are willing or not. Jesus prays, “Father! May they all be one.” Jesus would be very happy if all created things would response to His Call. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. Due to different reasons such as those mentioned in the “Parable of the Wedding Banquet”, people refused to go to the King’s wedding banquet because they had to “work in the farm” or to “do business”. Same message was delivered in the “Parable of the Sower”: “Some seeds fell along the path”, “some fell on rocky places”, and “some fell among thorns”. However, “still other seeds fell on good soil, where they produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown." During the Nazi rule, a Polish priest named Fr. Gobi gave up his own life in return of that of a married prisoner. We should learn to surrender ourselves, and live our lives for others. May we become the “chosen” ones.
