Amos was one of the country folk and was called to speak God's Truth to power.
When Jesus came, even while He was in His ministry, He sent His disciples to do the works that would proclaim God's presence and kingdom in the world.
God chose us, as St. Paul writes in the 2nd reading, before the foundation of the world to be holy and participate in God's work in the world by revealing Him to the world.
One great example relevant to today is St. Kateri Tekakwitha. She was born among the indigenous people of the Iroquois area and later in life, embraced the Christian faith even at the risk of being scorned by her family and her people. Yet she was devoted to God and living a life of holiness, showing Him to the world.
We now answer this call by embracing the graces God pours into us so that we can be set apart and live for Him.
