Discipleship

Love, Saint Paul tells us today, is the answer to all the commandments. If we live from the sources of love, we will have no problem keeping the commandments and growing closer to God and our neighbor.

Jesus speaks to us today in parables and clearly lays out what it means to be a disciple. A disciple must be aware of the cost of his commitment to Christ.

Being a disciple of Christ requires certain commitment on our part: detachment, discernment, concentration. Ultimately, we must place Christ at the very center of our lives and before anything else, including the family. Becoming a disciple is not an easy thing and so we must weigh it very carefully, but, in the end, if we accept the call, the reward will be truly great.

Lord, and give me the grace to follow you.
