Imagine you were in the group of disciples when Jesus said the words in Luke’s excerpt for today. How confused would you have been? Imagine you turn to a companion and have this dialogue:
As the conversation ends, my friend and I are perhaps more aware but still have uncertainty about what Jesus is calling us to do. • • • • • • And so my prayer for today is one of gratitude for being aware of the power that detachment provides in generously serving my unloved sisters and brothers, and also for the grace to balance detachment with my vocation to be a loving person for my family and friends. |
