Wednesday of the First Week in Ordinary Time
The first reading is the story about God calling Samuel to be a priest. Samuel doesn't quite get it at first; he keeps waking Eli up thinking it was him who had called out. Eventually though, the two figure out what is going on and Samuel is able to recognize that God is the one who is calling him.
We also need to be mindful of how God is calling each of us. That takes prayer and discernment: is this what God is calling me to, or is this what I would like God to be calling me to? Discernment is different for each person, but a big part of it is, where do you feel at peace with what your are doing? That maybe where God is calling you to. But the point is, keep praying, get a spiritual director if you don't already have one, and keep discerning. Then one can recognize the voice of God!
