We have (in India) a saying: “Every Mountain has a valley.” This is a natural law.
But that can not be only reduced to a natural law but it also affects our faith. The readings of the 2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time tells it.
“You are my servant , Israel.” These words in Isaiah 49, 3 is a clear call that was known to the prophet. But as a servant he has no inferior feelings.
Because God follows that “he will show his glory thorugh” him.
It is a vocation of hope. This hope encourages the prophet to work further even if he found it “vain and useless”.
-- Thomas Kalathil
