I believe that one should realize that there is a price we pay for following Jesus, but the reward for doing so is well worth the price we pay; eternal life. Eternal life free of pain and sickness, a body made "whole" and perfect. A life without violence, loneliness, abuse and fear. A life filled with unimaginable happiness in a world of beauty as God intended when he created earth in the beginning. The price we may pay here on earth consisting of scorn, laughter, disbelief, imprisonment and yes even death, is nothing compared to the price Jesus paid after having lived a "sinless" life in order to save ours.
I would like to add that there were many other good men and women of this world before and after Christ who have tried to show us the way we should live in Christ by their example besides St. Peter Claver, Martin Luther King, and Nelson Mandela and it would be nice if their names too were remembered. The one thing I disagree with in this blog is the remark "we can pray this morning to St. Peter Claver, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, others who have shown us the way". I must say Bishop Gumbleton that I don't believe we as Christians are to pray to anyone but God in the name of Jesus the Christ.
