Mark 10:28–31
Peter began to say to Jesus, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.” Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields, for my sake and for the sake of the good news, who will not receive a hundredfold now in this age—houses, brothers and sisters, mothers and children, and fields, with persecutions—and in the age to come eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.”
Reflection
• Have I ever turned my back on my responsibilities in the name of my belief?
• Can I ask Jesus to help me face with courage and generosity any responsibilities I might be running away from?
