"In the same way, everyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be my disciple." Luke 14:33
Have you considered the cost of following Jesus? There is nothing that you bring with you that Jesus needs other than your heart. What we posses has been given to us by God and even that isn't enough. It is supernatural grace that we need, are you prepared to receive it? Are we willing to renounce all that we are to receive this grace and follow Jesus. Without laying down our lives we can not be one of His disciples. Our dependence is not on our possessions but upon God, He will provide all that we need. With God there is no plan B, you just take what He gives you as long as you are doing your part.
This is my prayer this morning, Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.
Jesus gave himself completely to Mary in the incarnation and we are to imitate Christ. God trusted Mary to carry Him for nine months, feed and nourish Him. We are each called to imitate Christ, this includes His love for our Blessed Mother Mary.
Mother of the Word Incarnate, pray for us.
Come, Holy Spirit, living in Mary. Help me to give myself entirely to Jesus through Mary. (As You did)
