In he Gospel, various would-be followers of Jesus came
forward. One man would follow Jesus after his father had passed away. Another would
have followed Jesus, but decided against it then he heard that he would not be provided
with proper accommodations.
The joke is on them. Such men are like people born into
slavery who up and decide they will not be slaves. Well, sorry, you have no
choice in the matter. As the Catechism put it, “God made me to know him, to
love him and to serve him.”
Or as Jesus put it, “You have not chose me, but I have
chosen you; and I have appointed you to go and to bear much fruit.
The only option open to us is that of being lazy, unhappy
servants of God; or of being his willing, happy servants.
