On this Sunday Christ proclaims that we have to repent to enter the Kingdom of God.
And from the other side the Sunday scripture readings are talking about radical discipleship. And by radical discipleship I mean something much more than just following Jesus in a pedestrian sort of way. I mean something much more than only talking about Christ; more doing his holy will.
All of us experience the call of Christ to be his disciples; if we didn’t then not one of us would be here in this Church today. For many of us this call of Christ was mediated through our families and teachers; we were brought up in a believing family and absorbed the faith along with our mother’s milk.
 The Eucharist is like the “big charging†of “our inner battery†of Christian life. Here and now we have the explanation of the word of God and we have the tangible food for our spirit – the Holy Communion.
