Follow me!!!!

This weekend, we have a continuation of the call to be a disciple of our Lord!  Last weekend, Jesus said that to be his disciple we must "deny ourself, pick up our cross, and follow him."  Now, our Lord says very simply, but powerfully, "Follow me"!  Being a disciple of Jesus is not a job or a career, but it is a way of life.  We have our respective vocations that we live: married life, single life, priesthood and religious life, but the overall banner is "Discipleship!"  Being a disciple in all that we do: our thoughts, words, and actions.  It is the call to also love God and love our neighbor.  We can be enthusiastic disciples or tired disciples but one thing is certain, we always need to go to Jesus to stay energized and become renewed.  The sacraments are a great opportunity for us to be fed and nourished.  Let us come to Jesus and in all that we do, let us follow him.  God bless us on our journey!!!!
