"Follow Me"

It can be helpful to see that Jesus' first followers were sometimes caught up in their all too human concerns. Jesus has just told Peter to follow him when Peter asks about John (John 21:21). Jesus instructs Peter not to be concerned about John's role and again says, "Follow Me." We need to stay focused on how we follow Jesus. Concentrating on another's path will be a detriment to our vocation. (Keeping the Seasons, May 23, 2015)
