Saturday after Ash Wednesday

He said to him, “Follow me.” And leaving everything behind, he got up and followed him.

Jesus also calls us to follow him and in order to do this we too must leave everything behind. We cannot let our personal desires keep us away from doing what we need to do as followers of Christ. He came to heal us and part of that process is cutting away all of those sins which keep us from following him perfectly. He comes to us as our Heavenly Physician and his prescription is for us to repent and accept the grace he offers us.

Are we really following in the footsteps of Jesus? Are we willing and able to leave everything behind? Is there anything we can give up in our lives to take that first step?

O Lord, help us to leave everything behind and follow you.

Amen.
