Today’s Liturgy: An apparently perfect candidate for discipleship fails. Why? He has never broken a commandment, he is respectful towards Jesus. Is it fair that he’s told to give away his wealth? Actually he breaks all the rules about the call to discipleship, which always starts with Jesus’ initiative: this man picks Jesus. Disciples follow Jesus: this one stops Jesus’ journey, kneeling in front of him. Disciples make Jesus their top priority: this man’s wealth is his priority.
