1 00:00:00,730 --> 00:00:03,415 When we reflect on the life of Christ, 2 00:00:03,415 --> 00:00:06,757 we can clearly see that Jesus left His family 3 00:00:06,757 --> 00:00:10,687 and His home town to bring God's love to those who needed Him, 4 00:00:10,687 --> 00:00:12,222 and even in His life, 5 00:00:12,222 --> 00:00:14,938 He did not have a good place to lay His head. 6 00:00:15,813 --> 00:00:17,856 He was born in a manger 7 00:00:17,856 --> 00:00:20,172 and He lay on the cross as He died. 8 00:00:20,742 --> 00:00:25,116 That is why Jesus wants anyone who follows Christ to be like Him. 9 00:00:25,959 --> 00:00:27,598 If we follow Christ, 10 00:00:27,598 --> 00:00:29,631 we need to give up many things, 11 00:00:29,631 --> 00:00:32,845 but we are not perfect in giving up many different things. 12 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,634 God always invites us to be wise in following Him 13 00:00:37,634 --> 00:00:39,428 to prepare for eternal life. 14 00:00:40,302 --> 00:00:44,172 As we know, priests and men and women religious 15 00:00:44,172 --> 00:00:45,865 have to give up many things, 16 00:00:45,865 --> 00:00:51,637 even leaving their families, parents, brothers and sisters and friends 17 00:00:51,637 --> 00:00:54,866 to serve people and the Church wherever they go. 18 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,210 Each person has his or her own calling 19 00:00:59,210 --> 00:01:02,000 and each calling has its own cross to bear. 20 00:01:02,646 --> 00:01:06,207 The calling that God wants each of us to follow 21 00:01:06,207 --> 00:01:08,799 so that we can attain the Kingdom of Heaven. 22 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,639 In the midst of the chaos and darkness of life, 23 00:01:13,639 --> 00:01:16,856 Saint Paul teaches us that even though he was old 24 00:01:16,856 --> 00:01:18,542 and still in prison, 25 00:01:18,542 --> 00:01:22,032 he continued to write about the mystery of death 26 00:01:22,032 --> 00:01:23,604 and the Cross for others. 27 00:01:24,268 --> 00:01:27,705 Never think that you are too old to change your life 28 00:01:27,705 --> 00:01:28,495 or the world. 29 00:01:29,307 --> 00:01:32,240 Knowing how to put God at the centre, 30 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,176 we will have a reference point to aim for. 31 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:40,528 If at any time, we are confused by the countless choices 32 00:01:40,528 --> 00:01:42,640 and different forks in the road, 33 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,892 we should ask ourselves, 34 00:01:44,892 --> 00:01:48,431 which path will bring more glory to God.
