Both in the first reading with Isaiah, and with Simon in the Gospel reading from Luke, we see people in the awesome presence of God overwhelmed by their unworthiness.
Yet when we are destitute spiritually, aware of how inadequate we are, God comes to us, and raises us up so that we may respond fully to the purpose for which He calls us, just as He did for Isaiah and Simon, and even for St. Paul as he reflects in the 2nd reading from 1 Corinthians.
God calls us by the Gospel, the message of Christ's Death and Resurrection, which allows us to live life anew, and fulfill His grand purposes. In doing so, we reach out to draw others discipling them into the ways of Eternal Life.
