God of all things, who is more precious than all the treasures of this world, grant us the willingness to leave those things or even those people to which we are attached should you call, that we would attach first of all to you, who can give us a hundred times what we have left for you, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God in perfect glory forever. Amen. ‘As he went a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John, who were in their boat mending the nets. Immediately he called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men, and followed him.’ – Mark 1:19-20
