Anyone who comes to me without hating father, brother.
Cannot be my disciple.
We cannot be the greater , we may be the lesser.
There are many ways of approaching the Temple.

He asks a lot of us , even our life.
Because we all have, in him or not, to die .
Disbelief may be universally rife.
We may avoid the issue with a sigh.

All this will end.
Sooner or later we will be become frail and pass.
We may receive but will no longer send
As we walk through the last earthly pass.

But we need not fear .
Or shed a tear.

…..

We will have to go
He will make his final demand
And it’s for us all

….

See Luke 24: 25-33
