The texts in the Roman Catholic Lectionary invoke thoughts of the discipline of being a disciple requires attempts to prepare the believer to follow Christ as the One who followed the will of the Father for His life and death. This choice to follow Jesus is a choice to be open to all activity in the will of God. The priests of the Companions of the Cross celebrated their 25th anniversary at our parish last night. The spiritual understanding of this group is that it is necessary to “give God permission” to act through the believer. The memorial celebrated by the Church today is that of the Mary and her sorrows. The real human drama of her life was guided and made secure by a faith that trusted her relationship with the Divine to be the Way of Life. The models of how to enter deeper into the relationship with God are in the lives of the saints. Taking action to give up control is the major obstacle to the fuller Life.
