The gospel asks us to surrender (Fr. Ron Rolheiser OMI)

     If you were to take all of Jesus’ teachings, all that’s said about belief, morality, and piety in the gospel, and boil that down to a single precept, you could put it into one word:  surrender.  The gospel asks us to surrender.

    But to surrender what exactly?  Our individualism, our fears, our security, and our need to stand out and be special.  It asks us to surrender our agendas, ambition, anger, bitterness, and all those things that keep us standing alone, apart.

--Fr. Ron Rolheiser, OMI
