In today's Gospel, Jesus speaks about the true nature of discipleship.Following Jesus would involve acceptance of the crosses of our daily life.The hardships and difficulties of daily life are the sources of our salvation.It is an accepting them that we become true followers of Jesus.We accept them not because we love suffering for its own sake but because we know that Jesus will protect us. Instead of becoming rebellious and hard-hearted, we become compassonate and merciful .Jesus reminds us that all that we accumulate as our comforts becomes meaningless, if they do not help our spiritual life.What is important is being with the Lord.
Lord, thank you for giving us the courage to follow you. No hardship of life will have the power to deflect us from our attachment to you.You give us peace and comfort and in you we find the joy of our life.What is important is the salvation of our soul.Thank you Lord for your protection and love.
