About this episode

Sr. Ann reflects on the importance of following Jesus as a disciple based on the Gospel readings.

In today’s Gospel, Jesus summons the Twelve disciples and gives them the authority to do great deeds. But the most important thing for a disciple of Christ is not what he does, but how closely he follows the Lord. How committed are we to following Jesus? Sr. Ann reflects on today’s readings: Hosea 10:1-3, 7-8, 12 Psalm 105:2-3, 4-5, 6-7 Matthew 10:1-7 Sr. Ann’s Books Deeper Conversion Extraordinary Grace for Ordinary Times More of the Holy Spirit Captured By Mercy This is a public episode.
