Reflect
Over the course of his three-year public ministry, many came to follow Jesus on the way. Andrew, one of the Twelve, whose brother was Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard John the Baptist preaching and came to follow Jesus. Andrew came and found Simon Peter telling him: “We have found the Messiah! I have seen him.”
Pray
God of the Journey,
There are so many different voices, people, and ideologies
we can follow and give our lives to in this earthly life.
Show me to sort through the noise and other voices clamoring for my attention.
May I always remember that following you on this pilgrimage
is the most important path I can tread.
Amen.
Act
Pope Francis once beautifully summarized what it means to follow Jesus saying, “To follow Jesus means to share his merciful love for every human being.” Is there someone in your life that needs to hear about an experience of the merciful love of Jesus? See what God has to say to you.
