Live the little of the Gospel you have understood

Why did I hesitate, asking for time to look after my own affairs? Once I had pit my hand to the plough, why did I look back? And yet, though I had never seen you, I loved you, perhaps not as I would have liked to, but I did love you. Christ Jesus, you were suggesting to me, “Live the very little of the Gospel that you have understood; proclaim my life among humanity; come and follow me.”

Until one day, returning to the source, I understood. You were asking me to commit myself to the point of no return.

—Brother Roger of Taizé (1915-2005)
