Follow Jesus

“Before one can evangelize, one must be evangelized. Before one can disciple others, one must be a disciple.”

Become His disciple by loving and learning from Him. Become engaged in the Church and the life of discipleship.

It is all about renewing our personal encounter with Our Lord and learning to journey in life and faith with Him each day closely for the rest of our lives.

  • Make space for Jesus - immerse yourself in God’s word - scripture, reflections on scripture, the lives of the Saints

  • Seek healing

  • Practice imitating Jesus - be present, offer mercy, be attentive, be welcoming

Reflection questions

In what ways am I following Jesus in my life?

How does Jesus call me to follow Him in my ministry?
