Friday of the 7th week of Eastertide

To follow Jesus

John 21:15-19


Jesus said to Peter, "when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and somebody else will put a belt round you and take you where you would rather not go.’  Afterwards, Jesus said, "Follow me."

We followed the Lord ever since we were baptised.  Our responsibility is to explore God's world.

We followed Jesus when we were confirmed.  During that time we resolve to be faithful followers of Jesus Christ.

We followed Jesus we were ordained, got married, or took a solemn oath of chastity, poverty, and obedience.  From then on, our lives  become a series of incidents of following Jesus.

We are to follow Jesus, even to situations or places we don't want to go.  But He leads us by the hand and gives us life and for others, life through us.

Unless we follow Jesus, our lives are useless.
