Children’s questions about God’s love and His purpose highlight the mysteries of our faith. Jesus’s prayer in John 17 reveals the deep unity He desires for His followers. This unity should be the hallmark of the church because our foundation is Jesus Christ alone. We may all have different gifts and roles within the church, but we unite as one body to fulfill our mission – sharing the good news of Jesus with the world. When we live in unity, the world will know that God sent Jesus and loves us all.

Jesus invites Matthew first and foremost into a relationship with him. The relationship was not the by-product of them doing ministry together, the relationship was the assignment, just like Patrick spent his time in prayer and reflection while working as a common slave. The ministry is what comes from the spending time together with God. The Christian life is not about doing stuff for God but being with God. It’s remarkable how Matthew got up immediately with no questions asked. Jesus’ invitation was a bit vague. He just said, “Follow me.” Some real similarities to St. Patrick. Here’s the thing…all Jesus asked of Matthew was to get up. It was all about movement! He had to get up from the table and move!
