FOCUS: Putting Jesus first is our challenge: Once again Jesus discusses the challenge of living the Gospel. Faithful discipleship comes with de-mands. But we are not to keep the Gospel message to ourselves—it must be proclaimed and lived no matter what the cost. For those who are faithful, the reward will be newness of life.

Let us remember in our prayers the newly baptized, the parents and the godparents as together they begin
their journey with Christ.
