Thursday of the Twenty-second Week in Ordinary Time
Jesus calls us to come follow Him. When we hear that the Apostles left everything to follow Him, it can be intimidating to us. Do I have to give up everything? We then start wondering if we would have the courage and faith to say yes if Christ called us to something special. But keep in mind that when Christ does call us, He will give us the Holy Spirit to help us. He also give us time to get ready. Peter was nervous about saying yes too (he first tells Christ that he is not worthy). He also met Jesus earlier than this (see yesterday's Gospel reading). Jesus must have certainly given Peter the grace necessary to help him make the decision to follow him. So don't worry. God will help us.
