Jesus said: “My people, in the first reading Elijah was calling Elisha to follow him because Elijah wanted Elisha to take over a new mission as prophet. This is why Elijah anointed Elisha with oil. It is not easy to leave your relatives and your former work in order to follow a new mission. In the Gospel I met someone who wanted to follow Me, but they wanted to say good-bye to their relatives and one wanted to bury his father. At that I said: ‘Let the dead bury their dead.’ I wanted My followers to look ahead and be more concerned about proclaiming the Kingdom of God than looking back at what was left behind. Accepting My mission to proclaim My messages of the Good News is more important to save souls than be concerned about your earthly needs that I will take care of. You need to trust in Me for your protection and providing for your survival, because helping to save souls is more important than anything else.”
