Let Go

What must I do to gain eternal life?'The rich man who asked this of Jesus was told to sell all he had and give to the poor. But, more importantly, he was told, ';Come, follow me!' Franciscan Casey Cole challenges us to let go of something more difficult than material wealth: expectations, anxiety, comfort, wounds, enemies, powerand our very selves. Speaking from both personal and pastoral experience, he outlines the stumbling blocks that turn us away from following Jesus as true disciples. The response to ';What must I do?' is simple but not easy: Let go. Now.
