When Following Jesus Costs You Everything | Fr. Mark Baron, MIC

What does it really mean to be worthy of being Christ's disciple? In this powerful homily, Fr. Mark Baron, MIC reflects on Jesus' challenging call to put Him above every other love. Following Christ is not about loving our families less, but about loving God first so that every other relationship finds its proper place. Fr. Mark explains that authentic discipleship often comes with a cost. Living according to the Gospel may bring opposition at work, among friends, or even within our own families when we refuse to compromise our Christian values. Yet every sacrifice made for Jesus becomes a cross that leads us closer to Him. Discover how placing Christ at the center of your life transforms the way you love others and gives you the courage to remain faithful in a world that often pulls us in the opposite direction.
