“If anyone comes to Me
without hating his father
and mother, wife and children,
brothers and sisters
and even his own life,
he cannot be My disciple.”
Luke 14:26
“So likewise, everyone of you,
who does not renounce all
that he possesses,
cannot be My disciple.”
Luke 14:33
“Pursue justice, godliness,
faith, charity, patience, mildness.
Fight the good fight of the faith,
lay hold on the life eternal,
to which you have been called …”
1 Timothy 6:11-12
“… Anyone of you
who does not renounce
all his possessions,
cannot be my disciple.”
Luke 14:33
“The tradition and the authority
of Holy Scripture, show us three renunciations …
The first is that, by which,
as far as the body is concerned,
we make light of all the wealth
and goods of this world.
By the second,
we reject the fashions and vices
and former affections of soul and flesh.
By the third,
we detach our soul from all present
and visible things and contemplate only
things to come and set our heart
on what is invisible.
We have to do all these three at once,
as the Lord charged Abraham to do,
when he said to him
“Go out from your country
and your kinsfolk
and your father’s house.”(Gn 12:1).”
St John Cassian (c360-435)
Monk, Founder of Monasteries,
Father of the Church
(Conference 3, 6-7)
“Let us trust in Him. Who has
placed this burden upon us.
What we ourselves cannot bear,
let us bear, with the help of Christ.
For He is All-powerful
and He tells us:
‘My yoke is easy and my burden light.’”
St Boniface (c672-754)
Martyr, Confessor, Bishop
“I will go anywhere and do anything,
in order to communicate the love of Jesus
to those who do not know Him,
