Monday of the Twentieth Week in Ordinary Time
“What will it take?” I think if we begin anything new, we have that question in our head to start. This was a question I asked myself when I entered the monastery to become a monk. The answer to this question is that we really never know. We can do all the needed prep work, but we never really know what it will take. This goes for our faith too. We will never know what it will take to be grounded in our faith because God keeps giving us more and more. And we need to be OK with this. We need to be like this eager young man in our gospel today who is asked to do certain things, and it seems like, after each requirement, he kept saying, “what else.” Are you ready to ask God, “what else?” St. John Edudes, pray for us.
