The Roman Catholic Diocese of Norwich « May: Learning How to Follow «

My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

I sincerely hope your Easter celebration was a joyous family occasion. Easter is a time of such profound mystery and hope. Christ has risen. It is for all Catholics a time of strengthened faith and new life.

We now look forward to the continuation of the sacred fifty days of Eastertide as they lead us to the Feast of the Ascension – celebrating the return of Jesus to his place at the right hand of the Father; and to Pentecost – commemorating the gift of the Holy Spirit to the apostles and the beginning of the Church.

As disciples of the Risen Lord, we are called to share, by voice and example, the good news of the Gospel. Opportunities abound.

Recently, I attended a diocesan function and happened to be in casual conversation with a small group after dinner. One of the women present, whom I know to be a very successful business person, happened to mention her newfound interest in ballroom dancing. She said she had seen a television show that sparked her interest and she set out to find an instructor. And did. When she first met with her instructor, she informed him that she was most interested in dance lessons so she could learn how to follow. She told him she already knew how to lead – as a CEO of her own company. “Following” was what she needed to learn. She further shared that the instructor replied…”well, you’re in the right place, because when you learn to follow, you will find new harmony and grace that come from understanding the close relationship between following and leading.” It didn’t strike me until much later that evening how insightful her story was on so many levels.

Following Christ is the commitment we as Catholics all share as His disciples. In fact, the word disciple means to learn or follow. As annunciated in The Gospel of John, “When Jesus spoke again to the people, He said. “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12) Therein lies the tie that binds us. It is the desire and active choice to know Jesus better. How do we learn to do this? How do we become better at following? Certainly spending time in prayer daily and studying His Word help us become open to grace to learn.

As members of the Church, we have the wonderful opportunity to share in the fullness of sacramental life as a community of faith. Together we can follow the teachings of the faith, pray, worship and share in the celebration and nurturing gift of the Eucharist. We can grow in the knowledge of our faith and in our resolve to practice active discipleship. The Church is there for us each step of the journey.
