Today, Jesus uses two words that I have regularly reflected on in my daily mediations: “Follow me” (Lk 5:27). The question I then ask myself is this one, “What or who am I following other than Jesus?”
Answering this question honestly often gives me surprising results and makes me become aware that I need to shift the direction of my life. I need to follow the voice of Jesus once again, my Good Shepherd.
The heightened spiritual discipline of Lent gives us the opportunity to reset our spiritual GPS by listening to the voice of Jesus who calls us each by name to come after him. What/Who are you following? Is it Jesus?
