The Bishop of Córdoba explains how Saint John the Baptist made a first presentation of Jesus as “the Lamb of God” and, although “they barely knew him,” the Prelate details, “they were fascinated by his presence and his mission” and thus became interested. to know the place where the Master lived.
The Bishop explains further that “Jesus’ call is an invitation to live with him. Jesus does not teach them a catechism, nor does he give them explanations of what they will have to leave behind and what they will find. He simply invites them to live with him. Then will come the mission and work plans, but the most important thing is Him.”
Accepting the Lord’s invitation means “leaving other things, other loves, other coordinates of life,” Mons. Fernández continues. However, he adds, “when it is Jesus who calls, and he does so by attraction in the depths of the heart, there is no escape. You can play dumb and turn around, or postpone the answer indefinitely, or say no.”
