Monday of Week One in Ordinary Time
I had a professor once, who
when describing the overall feel of Mark’s gospel used the phrase “Jesus in tennis
shoes”.
Today, John the Baptist is
quickly and quietly out of the picture. Jesus
ran back to Galilee and with minimal wording hooks Simon and Andrew at work
by the sea. Another hop, skip, and jump
and he’s nabbed James and John.
They leave everything.
And that’s what Mark wants us
to hone in on quickly.
This discipleship thing is radical
Think hard about it
Don’t worry about the details
I need you ready
We are going on a grueling
but beautiful journey
…you need to be IN
all the way
