St. Simon and Jude Feast -
Luke 6:12-16
The Gospel today began with Jesus going up the
mountain to pray. St. Luke wrote that Jesus spent the whole night in prayer and
meditation. However, when daylight came Jesus called his disciples
together. He then chose twelve of them to be his Apostles. Jesus must have
known them well. And these men must have known Jesus fairly well. I doubt that
it was easy for them to leave their families. Yet they followed their hearts
and left their homes and their families to follow Jesus wherever he went! What
trust! What generosity!
Today Jesus is calling us to “follow him.” What
is our response to his invitation? Will we respond to his invitation as his
disciples did? Or will we make excuses that the “time is not right?” May we
have the grace to follow Jesus today! He will lead us!
