We Are Called to Give Up EVERYTHING to Follow Jesus
Daily Gospel Reflection on Veritas Catholic Network
Today’s Gospel Reading Mathew 19:23-30. For the rich it is very hard to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The disciples reply that they’ve given up everything, but Jesus reminds them it’s not about the stuff they have, but rather the disposition of heart. So many saints have given up everything to follow Jesus in order to dedicate their whole being to following the Lord. One of those great saints is St. Bernard of Clairvaux, whose feast day we celebrate today. When the call feels to difficult, let us ask for the grace to return to the Lord in the fullness of discipleship.
