Theme: FOLLOW ME

Dear friends in Christ, N'wokafu YESU KRISTO...

No one has life all figured out; even the most organized among us do not.  No matter how hard and well we try, our paths may remain unclear. Like the Psalmist in the responsorial psalm, we need to be shown the right way every now and then. Jesus' call remains loud and clear, 'Follow me!'

In today's Gospel, Jesus came to His disciples at the lakeside and asked them to follow Him. He did not say much nor offer them any lengthy explanation. He simply issued the commanded to follow Him, as One who knows the path, is the path, and knows what He is up to.

Beloved, Jesus' call to follow Him is a call to embark on a journey of trust with the only One who knows the right path and who Himself is the path. He says, 'I Am the Way.' It is also a journey of a lifetime, one day at a time, with the One who knows what He is about in our lives.

Beloved, only Jesus brings clarity to the uncertain paths of our lives, for He is the Way. Follow Him!

PRAYER

Almighty God and Father, your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, came to lead us on the right and sure path that leads to You. May we, in total surrender and commitment, follow Him walking in His very footsteps. Amen.

May God bless you.
