00:01God doesn't take away your qualities, the Lord guides them, straightens them out, and makes you a new person.
00:10Saint Paul, speaking of his vocation, says, "For me the past is rubbish compared to what I have now in front of me."
00:32A vocation is a change, and a substantial one. God changes lives.
00:40The Lord changed Peter from a fisherman to the head of the church.
00:47Paul, a staunch Pharisee and persecutor of the church, is made into the most faithful preacher.
00:56The Lord makes Matthew, who was a tax collector, a proclaimer of the Gospel.
01:04The Lord gently leads us to change.
01:08He brings about transformations with his gaze and his love.
01:14It only takes Him to look at you, it only takes Him to say a word to you and your life will change.
01:19Peter, Paul, Matthew, and all the apostles accepted Jesus' call because they felt loved by Him and accepted a change.
01:32They accepted to live differently, to live in different circumstances.
01:37But the Lord preserved the essence.
01:40Pedro, from being an ordinary fisherman, becomes a fisherman at heart.
01:45He transformed Paul, who was a Pharisee, into a tireless preacher.
01:51The same strength he had for persecuting, he now has for preaching.
01:57The same goes for Saint Matthew, a desk man, a tax collector,
02:03He becomes the most accurate evangelist in the exposition of the Gospel.
02:09God does not take away your qualities.
02:12The Lord guides them, straightens them out, and makes you a new person.
02:18The Lord does not want to end what you are, He does not want to end what you have achieved.
02:26He gives it a new destiny, a new direction.
02:31He gives you the extra something you need.
02:33Trust in the Lord that your change will never be destructive, but on the contrary, always constructive.
03:03Trust in the Lord that His change will never be destructive, but because of what you are, not because of what you are, not because of what you are, not because of what you are, not because of what you are, not because of what you are.
