Vocations to Religious Life
-
Jesus challenged the rich young man and in him all of us with these daunting words: "Come, follow me" (Mt 19:21). Jesus also reminds us: "A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master; it is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master" (Mt 10:24-25). Following Jesus means becoming self-sacrificing love poured out for others. It is only in this way that we can truly say with St. Paul, "It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me" (Gal 2:20).
