In the first reading, God calls Samuel, though it takes time, and the assistance of Eli the priest, for him to discern God's call.
In the Gospel reading, John the Baptist and Andrew both take note of Jesus, the Messiah, and upon announcing so, new people come to follow Him: Two of John's disciples turn to follow Jesus, and then Andrew introduces Peter to Jesus.
St. Paul says our bodies belong to God, who has already done a great work in bringing us to Himself. To the God who had made Himself fully present to us, as the first reading from 1 Samuel says God made His presence known, we offer up our whole beings in service to His call to follow Him, doing His work and delighting to do His will with all we are.
