Ezra 6:7-8,12,14-20, Psalm 122, Luke 8:19-21

Trust in God

Paradoxically, this truth about the mission of Jesus Christ comes to be known through building up family and parish life. Churches need family and parish life but the Word of God cannot be bound even by this goodness. Few are called to cut ties with their families. Jesus Christ is asking me to question everything about my life at every stage of my discipleship. There may be times when I must choose to follow him leaving others behind. Such choosing takes deep discernment and perhaps some spiritual guidance.
