How Odd of God?
Synopsis:
How odd of God to choose Israel! Such a small nation he choose to be the vehicle of redemption for the entire world! God rooted himself in a covenant with that nation. He sent his Son to be born in that nation and to root his saving mission there. Now he calls us to extend that mission by being rooted in the place he has chosen us to be.

What does it take someone to be “rooted” in the place where they live? In their community? In their parish?
Why do you think God chose to root himself in such a small nation like Israel? What lesson is there in such a choice for us?
How can you be more “rooted” where you live? How can the fire of Christ’s love spread from your heart to the world around you?
