Abraham responded at once when God called him.

The Call of Abraham. 

"The Lord said to Abram: “Go forth from the land of your kinsfolk and from your father’s house to a land that I will show you.

“I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.

 I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you. All the communities of the earth shall find blessing in you.”

Abram went as the Lord directed him." (Genesis 12: 1 - 4).

Abraham is the father and exemplar of our faith. Here is what we know of Abraham before his Call:

1. He is a pagan. 

2. Abraham was 75 years old. 

3. Married to Sarah. No child. 

4. Heard God's Call and responded at once. 

What is Faith? Faith is exactly to hear God's word to you and to respond like Abraham. 

Those who heard God and responded like Abraham:

1. Mary of Nazareth. 

2. Moses. 

3. David. 

4. Peter and Paul. 

5. Francis of Asissi & Dominic. 

6. Ignatius Loyola & Mother Teresa of Kolkata. 

You too, baptized child of God has the Holy Spirit living in you. 

O that today you will listen to His voice, harden not your hearts.
