2 Following the Master Once someone approached a famous professor about a young man and asked, So and so tells me that he was one of your students. Is that correct? To which the professor replied, That man did indeed attend my lectures, but believe me he was never a real student of mine. It is one of the supreme handicaps of the Church that in it there are many people who follow Christ at a safe distance, but very few real disciples, that is, people who actually do what he said. Let s face it. It is not easy to be a disciple of Christ. Discipleship has some practical demands that one cannot escape under pain of betraying the Gospel. Yet we have many comfortable church goers who give little heed to the misery of the needy and the groaning of the poor. Still today the Christian is called to renounce many things that are taken for granted by others. Some followers melt away as soon as a demand is made on them, like snow before the sun. Others are destroyed by opposition and criticism, like a fickle flame that is blown out by the first gust of wind. When the king visited the monasteries of the great Zen master, Lin Chi, he was astonished to learn that there were more than ten thousand monks living there. Wishing to know the exact number of monks the king asked, How many disciples do you have? Four or five, Lin Chi replied Jesus said in following him there is a place for common sense, for prudence, and for counting up the cost. Of course, we won t know in advance what we are capable of. We may under estimate ourselves. We may need a challenge to bring the best out of us. We can draw encouragement from the example of the apostles. The Gospels show that they struggled at every point to follow Jesus. Yet he did not write them off. By looking at them we discover our own inadequacies. The Gospel offers hope to Christians who fail. Repentance and a second chance are always possible. Jesus is generous with his grace to those who strive to answer his call.

The National Grandparents Association Annual Pilgrimage will take place in Knock on Sunday 11th September. In 2008 Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI composed the following prayer for the Association in 2008 Lord Jesus, you were born of the virgin Mary the daughter of Saints Joachim and Anne. Look with love on grandparents the world over. Protect them! They are a source of enrichment for families, for the church and for all of society. Support them! As they grow older, may they continue to be for their families, strong pillars of Gospel faith, guardian of noble domestic ideals, living treasuries of sound religious traditions. Make them teachers of wisdom and courage, that they may pass on to future generations the fruits of their mature human and spiritual experience. Lord Jesus help families and society to value the presence and roles of grandparents. May they never be ignored or excluded, but always encounter respect and love. Help them to live serenely and to feel welcomed in all the years of life which you give them. Mary, Mother of all the living, keep grandparents constantly in your care, accompany them on their earthly pilgrimage, and by your prayers, grant that all families may one day be reunited in our heavenly homeland, where you await all humanity for the great embrace of life without end. Amen.
