Choosing the Hard Path: Are You Ready?

In this homily, Fr Ino reflects on a moment of the Gospel of John where many of Jesus' followers turn away after hearing His challenging teachings. He relates this to our modern preference for convenience and comfort, highlighting how society often choose the easier path, a path where things are instant - instant noodle, instant answer from Google or AI, instant cut and paste. Today, we are encouraged to think about our choices: do we stick to what's easy and comfortable, or do we choose the more difficult path of following Jesus and His teachings? Fr Ino invites us to reflect on our faith and consider if we are willing to embrace the challenging but meaningful journey of discipleship. -Sunday Homily by Fr. Victorino Cueto, C.Ss.R.
