Third Sunday in Ordinary Time

Each and every day,

Jesus calls us to

make the choice

to live as faithful

disciples.

Today’s Gospel tells of how Jesus calls Peter, Andrew, James and John to come and follow Him. All four respond immediately to Jesus’ call by leaving everything behind to go and fol-low Him. Similarly, Jesus calls us to follow Him and live as His faithful disciples each day. Do we have the faith and courage to answer His call?
