More wisdom from Edward Sri

In other words, are we merely fans of Jesus or true followers? As in his own day, Jesus now is looking for souls who are willing to do more than the crowds who are fascinated by all things Catholic. He’s looking for those who are willing to do what he wants them to do, say what he wants them to say, go where he wants them to go, and give up whatever he wants them to give up. That’s a lot more than being a fan. In other words, Jesus is looking for souls willing to give a total commitment to him as disciples.
