What did Jesus mean when he said: “Come Follow Me!” How does this connect to religious life and ordained ministry?
As a religious, Christ calls us to leave all behind to follow him. This “all” may include certain relationships, possessions, future possibilities, and personal preferences, etc. It is so that I may place Christ above all, and embrace his mission of proclaiming the Gospel with great availability, in service of all people. To an extent, we are “leaving behind” our family, friends, possibly even a career. Sometimes it may mean letting go of preferences of how I would use my time.
