THE FOLLOWING OF JESUS (Christ, Jesus Christ, Lord, pursuit…)
- Every day my desire to follow Christ I aspire to emulate His life of power, humility, and suffering. Where shall I go if I do not follow Christ, who is the true path? I have many opportunities to follow Christ in poverty such as when eating food of poor quality or not to my liking, when over-cooked, when I must rely on conforming for everything, or when I need to maintain a complete detachment from material things. (p. 20)
- Today I have clearly realized that these feelings are a hindrance to following Christ with munificence and faith. I resolve to cast myself completely into God’s arms. (p. 21)
- I continue to struggle with humility and to rid myself of my fears because they are making me suffer and prevent me from following Christ with joy and from growing in the knowledge of Him and His love. (p. 21)
- I get the feeling that for some time now I have had a new love for God, a new relationship with Him, a new desire to follow Christ in truth, and a desire to be like Him in the most painful way. (p. 81)
- I have grand desires for humility while following Christ. (p. 86)
- I want to make the most of the affection that everyone has for me in order to accompany them in the pursuit of Christ. (p. 109)
- It’s not enough to be grateful for the Redemption, with words; one must follow Christ through suffering… ( 122)
- Now I prefer everything that has to do with the following of Christ over gifts from prayer. (p. 178)
- I would tell her, although possibly she doesn’t need to be told, that this experience helped me to prefer following Christ over the gifts from prayer and to think about myself with complete truth. (p. 181)
- I desire to follow Christ more perfectly from a foundation of humility and poverty. (p. 196)
- This has been a retreat for following Jesus Christ the Redeemer... (p. 198)
