**Following the Lord Our First Thing**

         In today's Gospel reading from Luke 9, Jesus said to someone, "Follow me." But he replied, "Lord, let me go first and bury my father." But he answered him, "Let the dead bury their dead. But you, go and proclaim the Kingdom of God." And another said, "I will follow you, Lord, but first let me say farewell to my family at home." Jesus answered him, "No one who sets a hand to the plow and looks to what was left behind is fit for the Kingdom of God." What we learn here is that we need to say yes to every call from the Lord without hesitation! This shows we are obedient to him and in union with him.
