Once the hand is laid on the plough, no one who looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.
Lk.9:62
Jesus sets the tone for what it means to be a follower of him. No rest, no burying your dead, no saying goodbye.
Now, all these things are good in themselves, sometimes even necessary, so what is Jesus saying? Maybe it's that following him is not a stroll in the park. There's an urgency to being Christian. When I find myself in cruise mode I'm usually losing altitude.
Jesus, help me maintain energy and urgency in my faith so I can till more ground and more ground effectively.
Saint Dominic, please pray for me.
