We find many obstacles that get in the way of our discipleship. We are preoccupied with our hopes and anxieties. Many of these may be like those of the chosen disciples; we too are concerned with our security and whether life is going to be kind to us. The true disciple tries to see more clearly, trying to base the truth of his or her life on that of Christ, who is “the way, the truth and the life.” From time to time we too will be granted moments that offer us a significant step forward. They may be the difficult challenges that come with death, sickness or the loss of work and love ones. They may also be great moments of joy and elation when we are granted to see or hear things in a new way. What is common to all these moments is that they take us out of ourselves, and their aftereffects is that we too are more able to follow Jesus along the way. The great thing is that we too do not walk that way alone. We pursue our path in the great company of fellow pilgrims and believers, and we are supported by our risen Lord, always with us in His word and in His sacramental presence.
