About this episode

Sr. Ann reflects on the challenges and joys of being a disciple of Jesus, based on the day's readings.

Following Jesus does not mean life is going to be easy. There are a lot of ups and downs in the path of discipleship. Moments of glory, but also days and nights of pain. But the world needs disciples who can walk through both the easy and the difficult moments – disciples who are confident that God loves them and is guiding them. Are you ready to walk this path?
