Upon receiving such invitations, we consider whether we have the time to attend, whether we want to go there and for some, there is no question, of course we wouldn't think of missing it. Respond if you please, is implied within the many gifts and interruptions, by which God calls to us.
Response is different from react .
Reacting is more impulsive and immediate. Once a year, the Catholic Church celebrates the feast of Christ the King. We are invited by St. Ignatius to consider the many ways we have been called in our lives to enter more deeply Christ's Kingdom. In creating us, God has invested us with gifts and talents of all kinds. The Call of the King in the Exercises asks for a response to Him by a response to those very gifts.
