Reflection
Saint Odo of Urgell is a wonderful example of someone who was open to God's call. Even though he had already established a career as a soldier, Odo gave it up when he heard God's call to a greater ministry. Are you listening for God's call? Will you be open to what you hear?
Prayer
Dear Lord, please help me to be open to your call like Saint Odo was. Help me to realize that you have a special plan for me, and an immense love for me. Through you, I can accomplish anything.
