Note the diversity and richness of these responses. They communicate deep levels of expression, of being, of sharing. Consider that your God-given life may be similarly diverse, rich, and expressive.
The life of discipleship is our response to Jesus' beckoning us: "Follow me."
What we are referring to as a "Jesus-centered faith" is the life we share with Jesus.
He is our "interpretive key," not only in our reading of the scriptures but in our discernment of the "way, truth, and life."
