This is a very basic guide to the kind of followers Jesus wants us all to be. He challenges us. Isn't it true that we are rather like the disciples arguing on the road about which of them was the greatest? Are we always putting ourselves first and wanting the best of everything? It is easy for us to think of what we have as completely ours, with no thanks to anyone else. We fail to remember that we are stewards of the many precious gifts which God has entrusted to us and which he intends to be used in His service.

Being available for the needs of others means being present in a hundred and one ways as people need to be listened to, understood and appreciated. We are called to do the Lord’s work so that Jesus can give His love to others through us. Every life gives opportunities to serve those around. To be a disciple means being open to what God may ask of us at any given moment even in very small things.

Please do stay safe and well.

God bless you all!
