Brother Jesus, who walks with us in truth and love, keep us from using excuses to avoid your invitations, that we would honestly present our worries and enter into true and open relationship with you always, through you who lives and reigns forever in perfect love with the Father and Holy Spirit. Amen.
‘Another said, “I will follow you, Lord, but let me first say farewell to those at my home.” And Jesus said to him, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”‘ – Luke 9:61-62
