Well Said: Jesus complicates our life ...

From the Sunday, year B, reflection. Yeah, I know it's year C. Who sez it isn't a good idea to mark up your books? Sometimes you pull out the next devotional volume, flip to the front, and have your eye caught by that bracket in the margin, which yields this gem ... one I need to write on an index card and take everywhere with me.

Jesus Christ complicates our life in a way no other person can. He asks us to follow him through a complete identification of our will with his own.

Francis Fernandez, In Conversation With God, vol. 5
