Why would God summon us to be disciples of his beloved Son? In the words of a Sufi master: “I chose to call you because you need it more than the others!”
Mark’s Gospel calls us, as community and Church who need it more than others, and who are so reluctant and slow to put out into the deep of discipleship. We tread the circle of the Good News of God in the world, circling home through the heart of this beloved Son, home with all the Father’s children. As we go, we learn a new step or two in the Spirit’s way of dancing home, around and around and around. Amen.
