Call to the Work of God

Recently, my husband forwarded to me a link to a video interview of Fr. Michael, an Opus Dei priest. http://www.opusdei.us/ssec.php?a=3316

Then he asked me, "So, do you have a calling to join the Opus Dei?".

"I don't hear it", was my reply.

"That's alright. I will keep on praying that you get your calling." I wasn't excited nor interested. My impression was: it is a big responsibility and sacrifice. I am not ready to handle more.

My husband, by the way, is a "cooperator". Having studied in an Opus Dei university in Spain. He said it will make him really happy if both of us will become active in OD.

Today, I'm beginning to think his prayers are very slowly working, though I haven't told him yet. I find myself being more conscious of things going on around me and the why and how I do things. In several instances, I found myself doing work while consciously thinking that I am doing it for the glory of God.

No, not every work yet; not everything. But I can slowly feel little changes in me. And I'm getting more interested in knowing about the organization and how its members are.

Will I get my calling? Or if I am being called (cajoled) already, am I going to resist the call for the convenience of the "easy life", or will I lovingly and joyously succumb?

We'll see...
