As the Church enters "Ordinary Time" we reflect on Christ’s roadmap for discipleship. True belief in the Gospel is not mere intellectual assent to facts, but a "whole body commitment" similar to the unconditional entrustment found in the sacrament of marriage. To truly believe is to place all your life, future, and plan into God's hands without fear, allowing this total surrender to transform your entire existence.

Originally preached on the 10th of January, 2022, at the Cathedral of the Madeleine in Salt Lake City, Utah.
