Review of our response to Jesus’ invitation: follow me!

His response to Jesus: Luke 5:28
“And leaving everything, he rose and followed him.”

Easter
If any of us can say we honestly
reflected on ‘How we responded to Jesus’ invitation’
& prayed fervently over our response
and made some improvement, some approach to the perfection of Levi’s response
we will have had a fruitful Lenten season.
Then, we can celebrate Easter full of joy, sharing in the joy of our Lord.
